Storm season

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.

Storm season

Postby ozimax on Wed Jan 06, 2021 6:50 am

It seems the NSW north coast is in a never ending storm season. My guess is that it will be like this for the entire summer. With that comes never ending humidity and rain, but also spectacular skies, especially after a storm. Last night we were treated to a perfectly formed and coloured rainbow which seemed to last for ever. Then came the fruit bats who grace our skies each and every evening at dusk, in their thousands, flying to orchards somewhere to fill their little bellies before returning to their trees to sleep upside down all day long.

Wabbit season!

Somewhere, over the wainbow ...

I love the first. The darkness - but it's not quite foreboding - of the sky, with the birds and the rainbow. I must comment though on how nice it was of those pigeons to pose for you like this.

Can't help with the pigeon pie, but here's an old bush recipe for cooking galah.

Place your galah into a large pot of water, with a couple of good sized rocks.

Bring the water to a rolling boil, and then bring it down to a simmer.

Allow it to simmer until the rocks are soft; discard the galah and eat the rocks.
