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 Trevor. I did indeed, and took about 350 images :D Now for the processing, lucky I have CS2 with the batch processing facility.

You should have seen the camera gear on display up there. Absolutely awesome.

Ozonejunkie, this year there were only four main spectator spots and over the two days I just kept moving around. The hardest point to get to was Cutters Hump. There always seemed to be a mob of press photogs there.

Hi Trevor, top shots mate. I see in your #3 photo jack getting a few wheels of the ground. I see he has added few more stickers to the car but yeh here is a pic i took when they had the rally down here but was late in the afternoon and in the midle of a pine forest and dark, but i liked the way the shot came out. All great shots you have there and lots of dust.LOL
Cheers
Here is 1 of my pics of Jack.

I don't mind a little bit of motion blur, sort of adds to the feel.

I am hopeful of selling some of my shots as I had quite a few enquries when I was there.

Whilst I'd love to take credit for these pix, in the interests of fairness I must point out that I had nothing to do with them.

They were taken by oneputt (John) - I only had the first comment after his original post.

And, they are very good images.

The photo of the Toyota is a ripper! :) I may be slightly biased because I'm an avid Toyota fan :P

What happened to the Globalstar Evo? Did it roll or damage anything at all? Judging from your photo, it looks like the driver's front wheel drop into a ditch :S

I hope you had some sort of blower to tediously remove all that dust and crap from your camera after the weekend :)

Great photos and looks like heaps of fun! can't wait to watch the highlights on tellie.

The Evo managed to stay on all fours. :shock:

Great shots Oneputt - you've certainly caught the feel of the action. I went to the Rally of Canberra a few weeks ago - my first rally - and it was great (dusty) fun. BTW, I also really like the frames around your shots - how are they done?
