More kite surfing - dial up warning

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.

BBJ - Thanks - I find it hard to shoot straight in to the sun tho... I have to use the Shadow/Highlight tool alot to bring out a lot of the detail. I have a cir polarising filter for my 80 - 200 but not for my 70 - 300, looks like I will have to get me one!!!!

Great shots. The colours sure are nice!

I'm looking forward to getting some kite surfing shots this summer - I only just got my DSLR after the last season finished.

How long is your lens?

Here in Adelaide I'd be shooting at Henley Beach late in the day (ie. into the sun) so if you have any tips I'd be glad to hear them!

Thanks for the comments guys.
Oli - I have only had my camera for 5 months, so I am learning as I am going along... These were shot with my 70 - 300 ED on a monopod. One tip if you are shooting in to the sun is get yourself a cir-polarising filter and use the Shadow/Highlight tool in Photoshop CS !!!! :shock: Other than that mate - just hold your finger down and you're bound to get a few keepers out of a 1meg CF card!!! :lol:
