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.

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.

Great shots !

Those top doorslammers really went, must've been the chill in the air.

My photos didn't come out too well, it was so cold my finger was having trouble pressing the shutter button :lol:
Cheers,

Thanks guys.

Conditions were pretty tough! It was dark, cold and I lost my jacket during the day.. I was literally shaking, but managed to pan a few shots.

The Aaron Lynch BBQ is my favourite, just excellent! :mrgreen: At least you had more light than Oran Park did last night, I was driving home along the M7 and WSID was lit up like a Christmas tree in comparison! :(

Yeah I'd imagine that Oran Park wouldn't have much light to offer :| Try strapping a torch to your cam? :D

WSID has gaps of strong light and gaps with dull light, so you just gotta hope you get the vehicle in the right spot.. Shooting Manual is a must, because Priority modes get really confused and put the exposure and WB all over the damn place!

#4 makes me dizzy. What a good shot - it takes you right into the action.
