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.

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.

Image LOL - this is taken out in the backyard of my friends house - the gully turns into quite a nice little waterfall after rain - and we've had lots of that !!!
Not a great shot - taken in the middle of a downpour with the old old old Canon G2 - not game enough to take the nikon down until it stops pouring :(
But you get the idea - not a bad place to be stuck ;) :)

ps - the flarey bits on the shot are actually rain drops on the lens - the camera is now on the kitchen bench drying out

Thanks guys - brave or just plain stupid ??? Remember I've fried a flash before in the rain ;)
The G2 is a bloody good little camera - just keeps on going, and it does have a bit of a hard life - if the weather is too shitty for the nikon, out comes old faithful ;)
My friend was happy with the shot - as she said, waterfall shots are 'really nice', but it is so much better when you know that it is 'yours'. There are about 15 small falls down the side of the gully - this one had me sitting in the middle of a pool to get the shot with the camera balancing on a wet rock in the middle of the gully LOL. If it ever stops raining, I'll get down there and get some 'proper' shots :)
