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.

Sunset at Sea

Postby Colcam on Tue Jul 04, 2006 7:32 pm

A nice quiet moment at the end of the day off the NSW north coast keeping company with HMAS Hobart. I like this one both for the colour and the nice depth of tone I got through the range. May not be able to see it too much here.
These things are not often quiet and peaceful!
I would be intereted in your thoughts.

Yep, I like this. Is it a scan?
Looks quiet and peaceful but really these ships never really sleep. Always something happening.
What year was this taken?

I think it was about 1995 or thereabouts. I was in Kanimbla on its way to refit doing a nostalgic return to the Grey Funnel Line. See the full story at http://www.sutcliffegallery.com.au/kani ... nimbla.htm

Thanks for that. 1995 I was onboard Hobart's sister ship HMAS Perth. Wonder if I can dig any old pictures up. Nothing like the digital ones of today of course. All I seemed to take then was hit and miss film shots. (Hit and miss for me anyway).

I remember standing on the flag deck trying to take pictures and everytime the long range air search radar swung overhead it shut my Minolta SLR camera down! Wonder how a moden DSLR would cope?

Great shot Col. Bet a fair few sailors who served on Hobart would love a framed copy of that on their walls.

Yes Steve, Among the last of the steam powered gunships (with missiles of course). The image was one that I was very happy with for the atmosphere it contained. Anyone who has spent any time really at sea, would appreciate that there are many very memorable moments out there.

Trying to find beauty in a subject that is not designed for it (the military) is a challenge too. :)
All the best
