Another Ferry Hop

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.

Hi,

I'm sure you are getting tired of the AW Ferry Hop. I tried a few different things on this one. I don't usually do "people" so on the day, I forced myself to do a few.

Interesting gentleman going home on the ferry

Women waiting for the next ferry. This was taken through a pane of plexiglass, basically making my Nikkor a Sigma :roll:

This last one is not the best composition. Just wanted to show the view from the appartment that Glen was able to organise for me. This was also taken with Chi's 17-35, thanks to both of you.

(edit: I should mention that this was after the AW dinner and a number of red wine glasses :roll: )

Thanks for looking and any C&C welcome.

It's always good to 'force' yourself to do something you don't normally do or aren't usually comfortable doing... well done on the ferry shots Andre. The first especially - seems like you got really close and it must've taken some guts to hit that loud shutter release with the big black box so closely situated, pointed at a stranger.

That's a great view from the apartment. So much of the city can be seen. (it's times like these that I wished I didn't live in the middle of nowhere)

Nice and close makes for big pics! I think you could have sacrificed a little DOF in order to get a tad more shutterspeed. That would have added some extra sharpness. Nice work! It was a great day!
