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.

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.

Very nice shots. Striking, one would say :). I wonder how a reversed graduated ND filter would go to reduce the exposure in the foreground thus allowing a longer shutter opening?

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

rechsmooth: thanks for the humour i got a good laugh! i've never thought or even used a nd grad filter for shooting lightning, but definately a smart idea. so thanks for that.

sorry it took so long to get back on and respond but i've been flat out, discovered bubs is gluten intollerent and its been affecting him,so i've been busy calming him most of the time. im now off it myself, which has stopped his pains so fingers crossed he stays settled so i can get on here more often!
