On The Hop #2

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.

Here is the second (and last) sample of my shots from the AW Ferry Hop last weekend. And before anyone comments (Chris :wink: ) yes it's been photographed to death, but there is a certain appeal to all those lines and curves of the SOH. All four shots were taken with the Nikkor 28-70. To see it larger, click a pic. For more images from the hop go HERE.

A black and white treatment to start with

And three colour harbour panoramas

Nice shots Peter. I like them all, and besides, what else can you see from the ferry. You show how good the 28-70 can be in competent hands. Great work.

Thank you all for your comments.

The big problem for me with outings like this is not to get postcard type images - trouble is 90% of what I end up with is just that. For me #1 was a nice outcome (who'd buy THAT on a postcard :wink: )

No-one mate. You need to have that other big metal coathanger thingamawhat in the frame :D. And, besides someone may get it confused with a dish drainer. :P


edit: Must have missed these the first time round. Nice work on the post processing - I had a bit of difficulty getting clean blues out of my shots like you've got here.

Great postcard type images Peter... ;)

Nah really - they're very perfectly processed/presented: horizons straight, perspective corrected buildings and deeply saturated skies (good thing the weather held out).
