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.

Another great spot that Birddog was kind enough to show us, only problem is it's hard to take good pics with all of the professionals in the way :lol:

The benefits of scouting the location ahead of time. Shame about the wildlife since this is otherwise a great shot.

Ha, that's one thing that always cracks me up on work-shops, with all the tripods... Plonking your tripod down is like marking your territory, just more hygienic :lol:

In that first shot the WB is off. Leon was wearing a white shirt and I had on a bone coloured one. Here they both look bluish.

I'm sure he intended to do it, coz I've seen the Grad ND filter in front of his lens.

Beautiful light boys. Nice shots Lostdingo. I think the boys add foreground interest and apart from the extra thatching sheepie carries and without seeing sheepie's shorts you'd swear they were twins! :wink: Good to see you out and about together boys, makes me jealous. :roll: I'm sure there were a stack of great shots to be had. Actually it would be interesting to see side by side shots of same scene same lenses between the D2x and the D70.
cheers

Yes, why not?
You can come up by train or bus, train to Newcastle and bus to Anna Bay, or bus direct from Sydney to Anna Bay or Nelson Bay, or joining with other in their car who's going upthere.
Get your license is the best bet.

Train to Newcastle, then Stubbsy can drive you to Boat Harbour.

Nice shot Paul - and to think, this is AFTER I've lost some weight! ;) :oops:

marcotrov wrote:...apart from the extra thatching sheepie carries...

I thought you were talking about the weight there marco - but then I realised it's the hair!


I'm actually starting to enjoy seeing these pics including me at work. I always try and take some of others while on these outings, as I think it adds to the record of activity - Hopefully they get as much enjoyment from them as I've had from the couple shown from this trip :)

Thanks Paul!

Zeeke,
You're not alone, few guys on this board do not have a D/L yet, I don't know why. Perhaps they don't think and know the needs of it.
Anyway, having a D/L will make your life easier, especially when you want to travel to places with your hobbies and enjoying your freedom.
