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.

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.

Wow! you are lucky to experience this sort of tranquility. Kudos for carring a 5D while you were skiing! :cheers:

The exposures and the dynamic range is brilliant!

I like the second the most but the composition of these leave me wanting to see more foreground or more background.

Fantastic. At first I thought it was NZ. I really like the last one. The perspective is neat.

Thanks for the feedback. Surenj - having another look i can see what you mean about my cropping (or overcropping) of photos. Cheers.

It's definitely a great part of Australia, and only 5hr drive from Sydney. Still plenty of snow down there at the moment also and easy access to the Main Range from Charlotte Pass.


A few more from that trip here if anyone is interested:

I do like the pano style crops here, it would be nice to see some more on each side of the images, but hey, can't have everything!

I have had a look thru you trip shots, looks like an awesome time, a bit cold, but still awesome. I quite like the creek cross one and the two with damien at Carruthers Peak with the skyline.

I was down that way this year for my first snowboard and i can definitely see myself getting down there again next year. Probably have to learn how to ski first tho before doing any of this back country stuff... :up:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
