What i've been up to this week just gone.

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.

Some nice shots steve, it's good to hear from you.

I really like the first 4 shots, all of them are good but these ones really appeal to me.

The almost B&W one of them going away really grabbed my attention, and the color in the sunset and the blue sky shots really jumps out...

There's something special about seeing these ships at see, especially when it's a bit on the rough side or they're in formation. Thanks Steve - nice shots, although the wide-angle distortion is a bit too much in a couple of them ;)

Steve love the shot of the two ships steaming side by side. Making a transfer presumably?

Thanks for the comments all. This year I am trying to create some images more interesting than just 'ships at sea.' I am also playing with filters, as you will be able to see in the images.

Chris - Spot on Chris, but i would expect you to get them right :)

Oneputt - yes, they were transferring fuel. It is unusual for those two ships to do what they are doing as they are both 'Replenishment' ships. Normally they replenish other ships, not themselves :)

Sheepie - I am aiming for wide-angle distortion in some images. I am practising my WA techniques for some ideas i have for when i get the opportunity. First i need to see how WA looks in a range of situations. So far, it's brilliant for Landscapes (obviously!!)

Steve - I always enjoy viewing your shots.
I think the group one inside the cabin would be a great marketing image except the woman on the far right looks like she's just done, or about to let one rip :)

Nice shots Steve . I love the colour in the first one .The shot of the guy with the binoculars looks good too .Has a "Sign up and see the world" feel to it .

Cool to see the Success in there .I worked on that when they were building it at Cockatoo Island.
