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.

We've been away for the last week, a relaxing (if not cold and wet) week in Ballarat. Not much to say about that, other than it was a break all three of us needed :)

On 'the way home' we detoured a little to Phillip Island yesterday - here's a few I'm particularly happy with...

(worth clicking for the bigger view - extremely happy with these last two)


Never been to the track there before - it's not a bad one to walk around, with plenty of spots to watch the action - even a few areas where you can see many parts of the track at once. It's also surprising in how much it changes height throughot - something you don't get a real feel for on the box (TV or Playstation ;) ).

Very impressed with Casey - he's really attacking the track, perhaps moreso than Rossi. We'll see in a few hours who's the quickest :)

Leon, man!!!
These shots are fantastic! All 3 bike shots are wickedly awesome and could sell quite easily given the right marketing, although I guess all the sports journos were there. You should be proud mate...good stuff and something out of the ordinary from you, I'm surprised you didn't try and sneak in a dirty/mudd 4WD shot! :D

Well captured and good panning skills. I would have loved to be there. You are right about Casey, he certainly proved a point on Sunday.

Wow Leon! These are absolutely brilliant! You have the panning down pretty well.

Maybe the WB needs cooling a little though.

I agree with the comments above. Those last two really are very good. I notice a nice sun-glare effect on the windshield bit of the bike on the third image too. Makes it look really cool.
