A leaky pipe and a bit of wide aperture stuff...

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This pic also taken at the Hydro power station.
122mm focal length
f 6.3
1/640 second

It is a wooden pipe with a diameter of at least 3 feet / 900mm.
The steel bands are there to hold the pipe together.
Its history can be read here

Here's the pic.

Edit - Here's the other pic...

to show just how leaky that pipe was...

If you think it should be added as a pic instead of a url, let me know and I will fix. Enjoy!
Edit - 2nd pic added here instead of as a url.

Adam, that's a classic shot. I took a look at the other picture as well.
My recommendation: post it. It's amazing. No wonder the dams are so low.

I think these are in Tassie; I'm not so sure that ACA would be able to use them; there's no water shortage in that part of the world.

Gary, in Tas we are at a 20 year low in water storage and the Hydro are talking about power restrictions. Just about all our power is hydro based.

There definately is a water shortage down this way!!!
