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.

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.

3 more from this past weekend...

this one is a bit later in the day than I typically like to shoot as is evident of the harsh light on the left of the rocks
I seem to be shooting in this format so much now I need Birdy to get me a Hassy 39 megapixel....for the price of a D70 :twisted:

edit: 1 more.......

#1 and #2 very similar - same rocks same sky, however, #1 justs stands out so well with the lighting whereas the second looks flatter. Really like #1 a lot followed by #3.

The first photo has a lovely element of drama from the waves in the foreground. Looks like you got wet feet for your troubles. How did you manage to keep the tripod steady? I've taken similar images (not as good as yours) where the tripod has started sinking in the sand - always a way to get your heart started first thing in the morning!

Paul,

you have capture these beautifully, I also love the lighting in the #1 and #3. #2 is also great, it as a more "relaxed" look to it, great sky.

What lens do you usually use for these?

thanks,

André
