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.

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.

Brighton beach boxes

Decided to head back to the beach last night for some more shooting. Since I've moved to the area...this is the first time I've actually gone down to the beach boxes which is a bit embarassing :oops:

Also can you let me know if it's too dark on your screen? On mine it's fine when in RAW, but after I convert to jpg it seems a tad underexposed :?

The first 2 with the low setting sunlight are sublime :)

Yes I agree. The whole atmosphere brings back great memories, staying down at the beach on holidays with the family, late in the day and possibly just a tad cooler, fish and chips on offer.

The colours are great, all great.

Love them. A fraction dark for me on my screen. These may be of interest to Ozbeachside who was looking for some Melbourne images for a friend

I like them.

I have only been down there in the rain.

Some feedback, perhaps try just a little earlier in the day, but not much. THe harsh shadows in the sand add lots of black to the sands.

Also, check out the view just a little further down the coast, look back towards this beach, and you can get the CBD as a back drop to these bathing boxes...

Aha! I just saw your rocks photos- did you take any of the sunset? I was down there last night and saw a guy crouching down with his SLR :) Looks like it might have been you :D

G'day Sacha,

Should've come up and said Hi :) As long as you didnt' mistake me for a Japanese tourist I wouldn't have been offended ;)

I had a few of the sunset but not really post worthy...a tad boring :)

#1 is my fave, #3 doesn't do anything for me, its a nice photo, but maybe a lower viewpoint to take away some of the attraction of all the rocks in the sand.

slightly dark on my LCD (at work :) )

Great first and last shot...

Last shot could be improved if you crouched down to take out the background houses etc...

Well done..

Wayne,

Love the 1st with the warm light, but I would Clone out the power pole and line to make the shot.

Cheers,

Mic. :wink:

Wayne, like the look of the colours in all 3, but can't say they look dark, just richly saturated. I think the 3rd shot just needs somthing/someone in forwground to help fill the space, as all that rough sand is a bit ugly. Don't know why you didn't go down earlier and rake the sand neatly.
