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.

I was lucky enough to be invited onto a friends 57 foot boat for New Years. I noticed when taking photo's on a boat of fireworks is:
a) boats move, making long exposures hard.
b) fireworks create ash, not good for the lens or the boat (had to was the boat when we got back to the marina @ 2am).
We found a nice spot in front of Garden Island and about 70m to the left of Fort Dennison. Perfect position to view the nights activities. Took us about 45 minutes to drop anchor as the 35km/h wind was blowing the boat making us drag the anchor. All the other larger boats were on the other side of the harbour out of the wind. The wind calmed down around 7pm making it very nice on the boat.
While the 9pm fireworks were in full swing, the tactical response team (with 6 crew) were having fun a full speed flying around the harbour. They were too fast for me to track and snap a picture of.

A small boat would be the best advantage spot to watch the fireworks from and the worst to take photographs. Or was it the champagne?  Regards
