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.

Once again Chris, superb shots. Actually I prefer the first shot because of the composition. You have the scene ahead and the reflection from the front left external mirror.

It looked like a champion day.


Goodbye for now,

I really like the second shot...

Some shots I've seen from the wide angle lenses suggest some form of distortion in the image (barrel or pin-cushion or what-ever) but these look straight as a die to me... Wonder why? Wonder if it's just me :?

Cheers,
Mudder

#2 is a great shot. Shows what can be done even with Sigma glass :) Local word is that the observation tower in the photo is going to be demolished by the council for some reason. Did you go to the top - the view is great.

Mudder
I agree with you about the barrel distortion not being evident. Some would say (Chris, Glen) that's because it's the Sigma 12-24. I have the Nikon, just in case this isn't obvious :wink: and I find it takes similarly low to no distortion shots. Both are nice pieces of glass (obviously the Nikon is better :!: )

Thanks all for your comments.

Stubbsy - I was also told yesterday that they are thinking of terminating the rail at Broadmeadow.

It certainly is a lovely spot for an ale, food and, I have been told, great bands at night
