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.

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.

Thanks Simon.
It's worth the effort. Very busy, even early in the morning. Great range of fresh foods and deli-type goods. Traditional bakeries, German sausages, garden veges etc.

Don't forget the camera, but there is no great opportunity for spending too much time over a shot - it's too busy. Candid shooting reigns.

I like all of them. They are natural and tell their stories.

Hey Trevor! Nice to meet you that day when you came just to see me at Photo Continental. :wink: :lol:

Anyway, I haven't been to the powerhouse for a while now and that band photo reminded me of a cabaret restaurant I went to on the weekend, Draculas down at the Gold Coast. Of course the reminder was inversed because instead of priest and nuns they were vampires. :|

Hiya Grev

Yes, it was great to meet up.
Just before I spoke to you, I bumped into a mate at the front counter. We discussed our photographic requirements for a while, and he said to me "If you need any help, that guy is really good." Pointing to you! So your fame has spread far and wide! :D

Wow, I'm awesome then! Yes, nice to have met you too, and I forgot what I was doing, think I was helping out with binoculars or video cameras... I can only remember setting up the one of the Epson printers. :| :lol: And yeah, I have to mingle with everything, even the complete dark side. :cry:

And speaking of dark sides, the Olympus E3 is an amazing camera, AF speed is very quick, built in shake reduction, f2 zooms! Definitely very underrated camera.
