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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

It's Friday, so time for a more light-hearted post. Yesterday I was walking back to my car when I spotted a mysterious slow-moving light in the sky  . And unlike those farmers in US midwestern states who just phone up a newspaper and talk about being probed but can offer little in the way of proof, I happened to have my dslr with me!
Anyway, in the grand tradition of UFO photos, I took my photos handheld at 300mm to ensure I couldn't avoid slight blurriness, with ISO3200 to maximise graininess so as to make sure you can extract as little information as possible while maintaining what is (hopefully) at least ambiguous enough to appear intriguing. I then edited it to "improve" contrast.
Should be enough to convince your average conspiracy theorist, no?
C&C Welcome (also.. advice on how to take better photos in this style of ordinary objects that are not really alien spacecraft  )

Normally I would critique this type of photograph, but last night I was kidnapped by aliens and my memory has been erased.

and in the bottom left - that light - is that an alien running along with his glowing finger in the air?

It was a small blimp with "Holden" written on the side. (And I reckon it was fiendishly clever of the aliens to camouflage their ship so that it looked like an advertising promotion.)

bah ... my shot was MUCH better
(although being part of a Holden club knew it was appearing - just didnt have a telephoto lens  to take advantage of it )
Top left corner if you weren't able to CLEARLY spot it 
Got no advice for that kind of shot sorry

Hi Zafra52
I see lots of those after a bottle of wine and I get them in my head when I see my boss happening along.
Great photo there Zafra52 - a little more depth of field and sharpness would be nice!
BT*ist - maybe you have photographed an alien parachutist? or special lens delivery by Mr. Poon?
Cheers
GRaham

Hi Bago100. I haven't seen you around this neck of the wood. The only alien there was the photographer and what you see in the picute is the F1 11 passing by during the grand finale of River Fire in Brisbane last year. It was taken with my last instant Olymous, which I miss so much because although it was not an slr it had a 10X magnification. But I agree with you, I could have done with a few drinks on the night for there were so many families with their kids making a nuisance of themselves...
