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.

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.

D70 flash sync demonstration...

Hi there.
A trip to a Hydro power station to watch the turbines spin round - Here's a couple of results. Both taken at 27mm f3.8
The first being 1/10 second, the second being 1/500 second with inbuilt flash.

I particularly like the first one. It's a bit green due to the colour temperature of lighting used in the power station. I didn't want to play with the photo for this demonstration so it is as it was.

For those that are interested, the diameter of these things is, well, er, um, taller than me!!

What do you think?

Large hardware like this is always a great subject for photography, isn't it?

Good comparison between the two shots. What might have been interesting would be a third shot,using (say) an SB800 strobed over a half second, with the camera (obviously) tripod mounted for the duration of the exposure.

Or maybe a merge of the two pics - if you used a tripod 8)

Yes the photos were tripod mounted. I love my tripod. It goes everywhere with me and my D70. I don't think the camera was moved between the photos, and they certainly look the same to me.
What do you mean by "a merge of the two pics"? I guess you are talking about a Photoshop trick... I must get around to installing that program!

Re the 3rd photo with SB800 - well, maybe I can sell these photos (and a "few" others) for the price of an SB800 and I will give it a go! Sorry, couldn't - I don't have the appropriate "small hardware".

I do have several other photos from this trip to the power station, fast and slow, different angles etc if anyone is interested.
