Bass Strait Oil/Gas rigs

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.

Bass Strait Oil/Gas rigs

Cruised passed these and many other oil rigs on the Bass Strait oil and gas field last month. Bass Strait was unusually calm.

MAjestic capture of huge pieces of engineering, must be quite a sight out there in the Strait. It's a long time since I've ventured to Devonport on the Princess on the Bass Strt. Keep safe out there. Max

Hi Killa. I really like this image. It presents the oil rigs in an almost serene way, as opposed to the image in my head of big, noisy machinery (Like in the movie Armaggedon).

Thanks for posting it.

Cheers,
Owen.

Great shot steve. I love the BW conversion. It's like those industrial BW shots that look so great. It's great that you can visit these places and photograph things that few of us get the opportunity to see, let alone photograph. Thanks for sharing. :)
