What a load of rubbish!!

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.

QFRS 525a and 527a originally called out to a gas truck on fire. Ended up just being a local rubbish truck. :( After driving all that way with adrenaline pumping I had to atleast stay and take some happy snaps.....

Mar,
Your life should be busy with PJ.
Does the truck have to pay for the false alarm?

not sure if they have to pay as it wasn't a false alarm or an activated alarm.

Your closeup shots of the police and firefighters are always the best.
Do you have access to police car radio or have somekind of deal going down withthe fire department, it seems like you allways have exclusive access to the scene.

i'd love to post more closeup shots however some emergency services people don't like shots being taken for a number of reasons...

access to all sorts of comms as well as a few contacts around the place. regarding being on the scene i've worked my absolute preverbial off to gain the respect of the different crews and stations and get access to whatever i want as long as i am not invading the scene.
