Different Sydney Cityscape

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.

Thought I'd post this one since a lot of you guys are native to Sydney - also chasing some opinions on how I could have made the shot better... I only had my 50mm with me, and it was raining as well; I still wish I had my tripod with me...

Comments welcome.

it looks a little washed out. Maybe some pp, increase saturaton, change the colour balance a little. But i do like it, it would make a good pano. were you on an aircraftat the time, it sure is a funny angle!

Thanks for the tips, It was on top of a hill in between Bronte and Watson's Bay, I think...

It's not a bad spot you found there - really good for the NYE fireworks...

:wink:

Looks like at least one building's been finished since last year!...

Now, here would be an interesting spot for us to meet up at sometime - perhaps then moving on around the heads back to the city?

Thanks for sharing!

Nice shots mate - my uncle did mention something about fireworks when I was standing there in the rain! :D

A meet there would be great - if only I lived in Sydney rather than the comparitively flat and boring Perth ;)

Spartikus,

great photo. You used the 50mm ! Cool.
I would play a bit with saturation and contrast or curves.
I'd also look into straightening the horizon.
But I'm also quite anal at times.

Cheers,
CD
