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.

Waikiki Panoramas

Postby Killakoala on Wed Jul 05, 2006 12:52 pm

Rather than freeze to death in Australia, i am spending two months, at tax payers expense, in glorious Hawaii. Thankyou all tax payers on the forum. I appreciate your generosity. (I am doing some work here as well, so don't worry. These were taken on a Sunday)

Panoramas of Waikiki and Honolulu, depending which way i was pointing the camera.

Click for a 1000 pixel wide image.

Technical details - Nikon D2h and Sigma 12-24mm. Handheld.

Towards Honolulu.

Towards Waikiki and Diamond Head.

I would have to agree, thesecond one is a bit dark for me as well. I like the first one the most. I think the way it is framed is wonderful.

Steve,
I told you go there and work harder with the funding from all of us, but you didn't :twisted:

Nice panos and we all missed you on this side of the world.
Hope you'll come home soon.
Have fun!

Yep, RIMPAC starts with a 'big grey fury' in a couple of days time as all the participating nation's warships leave Pearl Harbour to start the exercise proper. There is some pretty impressive hardware on show here. (Nice to see the Japanese in force too) :)

But to kick off proceedings tonight as it's July 4, a big fireworks spectacular is planned.

To the images, agreed with the second one, it is a bit dark but looks ok on my laptop LCD. :)

Last I heard, you were stationed off East Timor... Suddenly I don't feel so sorry for you... but it's good to see that the Navy has their priorities right... :twisted:
Cheers, John

NIce work there for sure. Keep an eye out for good shots in the military vein as that often issues the challenge to the photographer and is very interesting for the civilian population as well. I look forward to seeing something out of RIMPAC.
