Shots from the NSW Central Coast

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.

Shots from the NSW Central Coast

A fortnight ago I visited a friend at Erina on the NSW Central Coast. They have an award winning garden which, despite being impacted by severe water restrictions at present, yielded some impressive shots.

Also included are a few shots of Norah Head Lighthouse which I took on my way home to Newcastle.

Two sample shots below, larger version and other pics can be found here.

Stubbsy, you shoot flowers very well indeed. An more importantly, you even know some of their names. :)

Contact some of the gardening magazines and offer to sell the flower images to them. Very nicely done and professional quality.

Don't have a green thumb + do have a lousy memory. Allen always tells me the names of all the flowers I take shots of when I visit and I usually remember about 2. The one mudder posted the larger pic of is my fave and I've asked it's name twice & forgotten twice :oops: (I think its common name is something like spider lily)

Matt. I don't consider myself good enough yet so hadn't even thought of getting money for what I shoot (eg I have to confess I took the shots with the camera set to dummy mode except for about 30 which I took with the camera in manual mode and the wrong aperture setting!).

Thanks for the compliment.
