Sunrise and Sunset

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Took my D80 on its first real outing. Went camping in the snow near Mt Stirling. This area suffered really badly during the summer fires but thankfully there is life returning.

These shots were taken in roughly the same place at both sunrise and sunset. I've obviously had a bit of a play in PS but really aren't real comfortable using it yet - so much to learn.

C&C very welcome...

a lit bit overdone in PS. You can see banding in the sky. I think you could get some better results with different techniques in PS. If you want some tips show us the original and what you are trying to achieve.

By the way have they rebuilt Craigs Hut yet?

Cheers.

Thanks, i felt the second one went too far. I need to play with the various filters and find out the best way to use them.

I don't think Craigs Hut has been rebuilt yet, although i didn't head over there.
