Broken Glass Tubes....

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.

Broken Glass Tubes....

Postby Marty on Sun Jun 11, 2006 10:55 pm

A couple of shots of broken fluoro tubes, courtesy State Rail.
The detail/sharpness is lost a little due to saving for the web.
The lighting was natural, in a very dark train carriage.

Hey Marty :)
Very gritty - I really like the first one, but for the life of my am not sure why?? :? But for some reason, it appeals.

#1 - nice and sharp (no pun) :) - good composition

#2 - Too soft, camera motion or out of focus

Marty - love #1, it has a real grungy type feel to it, and I know you like this type of photography - keep at it and keep on posting!! The 2nd image doesn't do a lot for me, but #1 makes up for it :)

I agree the first one is the pic for me....you have placed the area of focus perfectly for the image, it realy drwas attention to the focus area and then you scan back and view the image again overall.

You did well...not many would have an eye for this type of work, especially me

Thanks guys for all you comments.
I think the second shot suffers from camera shake, due to the cold weather and me trembling whilst trying to take the shot.
I personally prefer the first, but was trying to have two differenet shots of the subjects I shot that day.
And LostDingo, you just have to look everywhere, especially down, even getting down on your knees to see hidden subjects to shoot.
Cheers
Marty
