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.

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.

Some sunrise shots

Postby losfp on Sat Feb 23, 2008 3:10 pm

Took some shots at Fairy Bower this morning. Unfortunately the sunrise was a little disappointing. Not a lot of colour, and I had a hell of a time juggling the dark and light portions of my shot. Maybe one of those cokin filter doohickeys is in order.

Here are my best shots, such as they are. Had to desat a couple of them as the blown highlights made a horrible splotchy mess of the sky. Any suggestions from the sunrise veterans? There's a couple of things I'll try different next time...

Hi Des,

Nice work! U should've called me I would have joined you! :)

I think because of the lacking sun in the first one it looks a bit err....bland..that's not to say I don't like it. I think too it works better cropping out the foreground rocks...(try it!)....

Sure is a beautiful part of the world though :)

I like your shots, dispite no blazing sunrise. The foreground makes the photo, in my opinion. You can never predict what a sunrise or sunset will present you with.
