A bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush......

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.

I like your reportage Andrew, keep it coming (but keep safe!).

The first shot highlights a big security lapse: they made the fence mesh wide enough for people to stick their fingers through... BTW, did you see this SUV in Dubya's entourage? It makes the D3's 11fps look so 20th century...

Cheers
Steffen.

Andrew, I hope you keep these images up too.

Steffen, that is truly amazing, especially when you see the spent brass landing on the roof

Padey, the 2nd shot looks like it is outside the Intercontinental. Isn't that inside the fenced area and if so how did you get in there?

Yes it is outside the Intercontinental, but behind the fence. Inside the fence is the restricted zone, so i was ok.

I had cops walk up and down past me a few times and an army guy come and talk to me. Strange how he just wanted to talk about footy and then he was interested in my watch. weird!

Oh and my mobile phone had reception as the US president drove past me only 2 or 3 meters away. So the idea of phone jamming was BS!

I am just stunned at how my city has been turned upside down for this conference. Politically i don't have dogmatic views either way. I'm more intrigued at how my city looks through the lens of a APEC induced vice-like grip.

I can't wait until saturday when i have a wedding in town!!!! lol

Is it true that the protester got his finger caught in the wire and had to have it released by the emergency services? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Great Pics. I'm looking forward to cutting loose with my camera over the next few days!
