Nowra, by night.

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.

Well done Norbs, you've done something i could never do, find a source light that makes Nowra look nice :)

Your B&W conversion leans towards the dark, but i think that your subjects really stand out as a consequence of that. Nice work. :)

Give me a yell if you want to do a night shoot around Nowra Steve. Would feel a little more secure with someone else. :)

Good shots norbs. I don't doubt you would feel more secure if you venture under the bridge at night...

I like the b&w images and think the first one looks great - really good way to capture a particularly bland part of nowra.

That's not a bad idea, I'd never go out by myself :)

I ran in to a couple of interesting characters. One guy asked me how much my camera was worth. I told him it was an old one and was worth bugger all. He then said it looked pretty expensive. Worried, I told him the newer ones are smaller and lighter than this monster of a thing. That seemed to stop his questions. :)

A 5D and a grip is pretty big :)

That's where a sturdy monopod comes in handy ;)
