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.

I was attending a conference at 1 Martin Place in Sydney, and on my way to the venue I had to cross a footbridge across a huge hall, made from a fusion of old and new architecture, spanned by a glass roof. I hadn't seen this from the inside before, and was mightily impressed.

It was a rainy day, and the light entering through the roof was bleak but fairly even. So I took these fish-eye shots. One to the right and the other to the left of the bridge I was standing on:

Wow, i didn't know this place existed :) A bit like the shot-tower inside that other ugly building in Melbourne.

It certainly makes for an interesting contrast.

Great stuff, I've in there before and had the idea of shooting this, but didnt have the camera with me... hehe

Quite a few of Sydney's building a joint in this way. I believe the one in 24 York & 363 George St does this as well, but not in a very elegant way as 1 Market St.

If I remember correctly, I entered through the hotel lobby (The Westin), took the lift up two or three floors, then followed the signs to Barnet Room 2... On the way there I had to cross this bridge...

I've been on that bridge as well (setting up a conference) I wished I'd had the camera with me, but didn't have the wonderous FE to capture it in all its glory.
