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.

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.

I do love a good sunset. Here are two images of the same sunset taken with different lenses to create two very different perspectives. Both taken near Noumea in New Caledonia.
Click on an image for a larger pic
The first image was taken with D2H and 50mm 1.4f. The colour was adjusted to give a richer red/orange hue. There was a bit of a smoke haze on the horizon due to a fire which added a little bit of extra colour. The cloud bank gave the sky something ominous looking to fill out the image.
The second was taken with D2H and Sigma 12-24mm at 12 mm and only two minutes after the first. I played with only the blue channel to accentuate the white clouds against the sky. It seems to emphasize the clouds rather than the sunset. I tried to keep the focus on the cloudbank rather than the sun which is why it is a bit offset and not ' neat-and-in-the-middle'.
Critiques, good or bad, are always welcome. Steve. |D700| D2H | F5 | 70-200VR | 85 1.4 | 50 1.4 | 28-70 | 10.5 | 12-24 | SB800 |Website-> http://www.stevekilburn.comLeeds United for promotion in 2014 - Hurrah!!!

Fan-bloody-tastic Steve.
I like them both but the first would be huge and on my wall.
Magnificent. (I'm so pleased Mr Howard sends you off on all these lovely photo treks...)

Fantastic texture and mood in that sky, for me I just keep going back to the second image with those terrific clouds stretching above you, the WA distortion has worked a treat here...

Fantastic Steve!
The colours in #1 are brilliant, but in terms of perspective and mood, #2 is a clear winner! Love it, well caught!
