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.

A couple of shots along the Brisbane River

Postby rflower on Sun Nov 05, 2006 11:23 pm

Had a quick trip to Brisbane a week or so ago, and took some photos, whilst I was there.

Please click either for larger images.

After looking around on this forum, I have started capturing my photos in RAW. These photos are my first attempts at using RAW, playing with curves and levels. Unlike my previous shots displayed, I have not used any auto settings in PP (ie auto contrast, colour etc).

I would love feedback on the images - am I on the right track etc. All C + C welcome.

Thanks

Hi Russell,
I find myself squinting to try to see what is in the bottom of the second picture. I would like to see it lighter (or a longer exposure). It's great to play around with RAW and amazing what sort of things you can pull from your exposures.
Cheers,

Thanks Marvin.

I can't get a longer exposure (flew back to Melbourne :roll: ) but I have played with the raw and curves a bit more. I am amazed how much you can alter a photo taken in raw.

Anyways ... Here is my second attempt at the bottom one.

I think the bigger image (click to see) looks better

Is this better, or too far done?


Regards

Russell
