Here are a few shots I took Fri nite. Any criticisms welcome.

Nothing is showing up mate...

Don't know about others but it shows up for me. If not you can see them at http://www.rphotobase.com/fustyler,23704

all i see in the original post is Forbidden Please visit http://www.rphotobase.com. perhaps they don't allow hotlinking?
nice images though!

All the larger versions appear to be 'forbidden'

Fustyler they are coming up forbidden. Nice images and welcome.



This is what comes up, maybe you could find somewhere better to host or use something like imageshack?

They're coming up for you because your system has cached them from your original viewing of them.

The site doesn't seem to allow hotlinking, hence why everyone else can't see them.

Furstyler, I don't think you read nnnnsic response above. That is why they show up on your computer. We basically have athread of "forbidden" now. They clearly don't allow hotlinking, the link they give goues to the image in their page surrounded by ads. If you want some comments on your work try somewhere like http://www.imageshack.us for image hosting, it is free and you can hotlink an image. Most people will just find this thread too hard with all the forbiddens in it. Good luck

You need to do some work on perspective. You also need to make sure your horizens are straight. Apart from that they're not bad shots, I'm always a sucker for city shots at night.

Eric, no 3 is an interesting perspective. No 4 works well, what lens did you use?



Ps we have a size limit of 800 pixels on the largest dimension and 200kb for the benefit of people on dial up and also to save people having to scroll sideways across the screen to see the whole image or read the text. Worth keeping in mind for next time

All shots were taken using a 10-22mm lens.

As for distortion, it's pretty much impossible to correct it given any lens at 10mm. I didn't think the horizons were crooked?

There are lots of tools that can help you address this, but the distortion, in and of itself is not an issue.

Then the SHB is now uphill from North Sydney into the CBD? (Image #3)

What we're seeing is, in fact, a product of distortion plus crooked horizons.

The first thing you probably need to address though is to review the image that you are about to shoot, your camera's viewfinder, before you squeeze the shutter release. Too frequently we, as photographers, fail to properly assess the image we are about to make, and then we have to resort to PP techniques to correct the problem.

That's where I'm seeing the real issue in these images lies.

To fix barrel distortion, I tried fixing it first in Bibble (lens distortion), and then using lens correction in photoshop, using the setting that is normally required for the focal length of my lens. However there is only so much you can do and there is still going to be some distortion at the end of the day.

Correcting through the viewfinder before taking the shot is a big ask. I shoot with a 20d so the viewfinder isn't as big as a FF camera. Keep in mind I'm shooting at night so it's really a bit dark to tell if the horizon is just a little bit off. The only way to fix the problem while shooting is for the camera to have grid lines on the viewfinder.

In photoshop CS2 there is also a perspective distortion correction tool in the edit menu. This would assist you fixing the bad distortion in #3 for example.
