Minnamurra meet shots

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.

We had a good day out today. Thanks to Peter for organising it and Philo for catering. Very nice.

Eddie came out to entertain some of us and came over for a pat.

He waddled past without a worry in the world.

This is not swimming :mrgreen: At nearly 40 degrees who can blame you :cheers:

Yes The camera was set for day light and 3200 iso.
I was more worried about getting at least one shot in focus. :up:
To top it all off I negated the raw + option the other day and had not reset it. :oops:
Not to worry it was fun to be there.

 ROFL, dont worry, throw the pics into Capture NX (Photoshop/Lightroom or whatever tickles your fancy) and away you go! Not the best way but you will still be able to get it corrected. I hate it when I do that!

It was a fun trip.

Colin. I like #2 and #3 but the yellowish WB bothers me. #1 there is just a bit too much distracting foreground vegetation. That said I'm jealous you (a) have shots of the echidna and (b) made it to the falls :wink:

It is a pity about the white balance in the first 2 shots. I think the second shot would be great if the colours were a little more "natural".

I love the way Mozzie provides a sense of scale in the 3rd shot.
