Sunny Mauritius??

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.

Flew to Mauritius for the weekend and it rained three days straight! But I had a nice view from my beachside unit.

Shot with the 70-200VR no doubt

Sorry to hear that it rained but with a lens like that to keep you company you must of had a big fat smile on your face.

At least the rain gave the waterfalls some "fuel"....I had to hand hold this as I didn't have a tripod (1/5 sec).....the VR of the 24-120VR finally got some use

Stuart. These are both good shots for very different reasons and both are appropriately evocative. I like the DOF you've achieved in the first one in particular (and I'm NOT trying to be funny).

Stuart, I was there recently visiting family (I was also born there). The weather was not perfect but I can assure you that you do not want to be there during January/Feb. Not only is this the main tourist season (read large numbers of people), it is also the hottest period.

You can see I had some good weather by looking at my current avatar (the rock taken near Tamarin Bay) and this post taken north of Mauritus: http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8867&highlight=

Welcome back to Australia Stuart. Sorry to hear about the weather. I bet you are tired now! Quite a long trip for a weekend :)

Nice shots too. The VR at 24mm must be impressive for workable shutter speeds.

Cheers,
HB
