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.

Yet Another SunSet.

This was taken a few months ago, standing on my half built patio.
Three images stitched together. No colour correction and no sharpening, i used manual speed and aperture till i could keep blown out highlights to a minimum, basically the street lights.
exposure was 1/80 f/4.5

I just wonder how people feel given i spent about 3 hours removing 3 power lines, running right through the centre, and a rather large power pole to the left of the photo.
I could have cropped the power pole out, but i wanted to keep the sun central. If i had my used my film camera i would probably have not wasted the film, but i knew i could edit the image on the digital.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

At this size, if you hadn't mentioned the cloning out of power lines and poles I would never have known... Even now I can't see it... :?

Stitching seems well done, again at this size it's difficult to be picky, but looks good to me... :)

Reckon manual exposure's the only way to go for pano's otherwise it can become more difficult to match the images up later if exposure (or aperture) changes between images... I tend to sweep across the scene and find the brightest part and meter for that, then take the lot in one sweep...

Ain't digital wonderful? You can take a series of images and then decide whether they're worth keeping or not later, imagine all the iffy shots that have turned out OK with some PP that you may never have taken if you were using film...
