Over Wivenhoe

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.

Over Wivenhoe

I took this yesterday as I flew over Lake Wivenhow towards Lake Eyre for the day.
I found very difficult to focus the camera because of the spots in the outside glass of the window.

Every photographer should carry a small bottle of window cleaner in his/her camera bag. It is an essential item. :D :D I love the deep blue sky.

Why carry window cleaner when you have E2 and PecPads??? I know it would be a bit of a waste but at least you can use them for wet cleans of your sensor as well!

Too bad you cant get at dirt on the outside of the window!

Thank you guys. Yes, but you still have to climb off the plane to clean the dead mosquitos and flies on the outside glass. :lol:

It's illegal to fly carrying E2 in a commercial aircraft.

I believe that the in-flight movie for those flying on the wing is "Gone With The Wind".

Again - another lovely photograph Zaffra!

One of the propeller blades is not sharp - the others are though - could be a nasty case of propeller shake there :lol:

The blues at the top of the sky and in the lake really frame your photo very well

Well done

Cheers
