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.

Well.. I went to Woody Point to try and catch the storms coming over the water but it didn't happen. Got very very wet and there was far too much low cloud in the way :(

Went to the Redcliffe Pier after the storm had passed and waited patiently for a long time. Only managed to get one shot :(

Slightly soft as I had a dodgy tripod with me and it was blowing a gail. C&C more than welcome.

I think this is a sweet sweet shot, and what Kipper was getting at... Lightning and a gorgeous scene.. love the reflections of the lights on the water! Great work!

My effort was even worse... but i finally got lightning in the shutter!

Had an awesome electrical show for about 45mins.. using 10sec shutter releases.. caught hardly any of it.. i was using Dug's 10-20mm Sigma prolly the wrong lens for the job... this is my 3rd attempt.. and i finally got a slight taste..

Mark - great shot, very dramatic, it wasnt till you mentioned the red light did I notice it !!!
Zeeke - Yours have that horror movie/spooky feel about them - great captures. It's amazing how many shots you go through till you actually capture some lightning isnt it ??
