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.

Nice shots and interesting subject matter. Hot, dusty and a lot of flies I would imagine?

Hi Nick,

these are great action shots. Looks like you are really getting into that country posting you are on right now :D

However, I find the photos a bit dark. Some of that will be due to the time of day, harsh shadows. I also notice that you went -0.3 ev, try the other way, +0.3. You would lose a bit of the shutter speed but you could also compensate for that with highter iso.

Keep enjoying NT 8) 8)

I'll reprocess these a bit lighter. They are a fair bit lighter before PP. However the shadows were very harsh, the light is bloody bright up there in the middle of the day.

Andre: I'm in Taree on placement now. Got back from the NT nearly two months ago - just been busy and lazy with the photos.
