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.

Attended the event on Saturday, and arrived back in Adelaide tonight. Just a few from to wet the appetite:

Tiger Helicopter
D2x + Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14E11

Image
Bulldog - this shot was taken with the aircraft in this fllying position no more than 2 metres from the deck. Should be called Maddog.
D2x + Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14E11

Image
FA18 Hornet - these guys were way too fast for me in the sky, so I waited until the aircraft landed.
D2x + Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14E11

Weather conditions conditions were not favourable, heavy cloud cover with patchy blue sky, rain showers and strong winds. Typical Melbourne weather :wink:. From the shots, you can see that I waited until the subjects were in blue sky before shooting. A very draining day.

Had a great time and met up with robw25, and his friend Simon from Whyalla.

Welcome home. So you are calling me a dickhead :lol: , soft boy, and still after a heavy shower of rain and getting very wet, still fighting fit and twice a dangerous.

Avalon Air Show 2007 Part II, not as good, but the best I could muster in view of the weather.
