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.

Hi All We had a horrendous storm come through SE Queensland yesterday arvo, the worst I have ever seen and really quite frightening. Here are some pics I took before, during and after. The calm before the storm!  During the storm - note the kids trampoline has gone with the wind, and you can just make out the hail stones lying on the deck/grass  Some of the hail stones held in my daughters hands - you would not believe the noise these made on out tin roof!  And some damage to trees in our garden, which if it were not for the tree on the right would have come into contact with our house - scary thought!  We were without power for approx 12 hours but some homes are still without, some 22 hours later.

we just had a bit of rain and a brisk breeze at Jacobs Well ... lots of lightning and the power went off for a couple of hours. luckily i had made a coffee just before it hit otherwise it would have been real bad for me too  this was as bad as it got ... a bit of medium to heavy rain.

Hi Geoff - glad to see you are ok !! Would have been bloody scary up there yesterday - we just finished doing a 2 week fauna survey at Eagle Heights and down at Wongawallan, and pulled out all of our gear on Saturday morning - think we finished just in time !!!! Next time we are up there, how about a coffee ?

Geoff, I think I saw the trampoline out sailing past the beach earlier this morning. Looks bloody nasty though; the images on tv were very graphic. Glad you're ok. g.

I hope the "photographer" that was killed wasn't a DSLRUser.

Hi All We retrieved the trampoline from the neighbours fence and after the storm passed and the clear up of the yard yesterday we were fortunate not to have too much damage - the damaged tree needs to be cleared with the aid of a cherry picker ($$$  ), we also had a broken window in the bathroom due to the hail. Our car was not in the garage at the time and remarkably had no damage. Venturing out today there are a lot limbs from trees along the roadside and some homes with quite extensive damage, will be some time before everything is back to normal. Without power, we are also without water as we are on tank water only. We have now purchased a small generator, just in case! Rel, would love to do coffee. Will send PM
