Perth Night Shots!

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.

I like the first and the third, because they are different from all the other "Perth City from Kings Park" shots.
The zooming effect looks like they are all shooting lasers! You managed to do it for the lights only, instead of all the buildings zooming too! I'm wondering how you did that :)

1st and 3rd are very clever. I think I like the first one because the 'lasers' don't overpower the image as much as in the third.

The middle shot isn't bad either - it just doesn't fit in with the uniqueness of the other two as much!

All I did was while it was in the bulb setting I decided to Zoom in on the wide shot of Perth and Zoomed out on the close-up just to see the effect!!! Was quite surprised how they turned out!!!

I like the effect in 1 and 3. Is there a name for this type of effect? I would like to see other attempts at it. Nice shots

Showing your age there, Wayne :lol:

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Nice work. Something different from Kings Park!
Go the D80 and Perth!!

Harry PS: You might want to edit your sig - the D80 Kit lens is an 18-135, not 17-135.
