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.

Time to go home....

Here's a couple of shots which I took of a storm developing over the water while my old man and I were finishing up a nights snapper fishing in moreton bay. Nothing beats nature letting you know when it's time to go home. :)

These pics are fascinating as they are very similar to what I saw on Fox a few days ago. The Fox program was on the biggest tornado to hit the US.

Excellent pics

thanks Chris...

apparently touch downs happen often on moreton bay... i've seen some in the distance before.. but this was the first we were close to.

it was a nice learning curve on how best to hold a camera still whilst bobbing around on the water... :)

They are very nice captures, and how did you hold the camera steady in a bobbing boat?

work out a pattern... lean against something stable... the power of vr... exhale ... hold breath.. snap (1/400). a few shots came out terrible, but these two came out okay i think.

The real challenge is getting the horizon straight.

Great shots; reminds me of our first spring in Dallas, and our first ever storm there. We just stood in the breezeway of our apartment complex watching the lightning. Awesome stuff.

you're spot on there about the horizon gary.... you should see the originals.... they looked straight to me when shooting but the horizon is at a 25% angle. :D

Excellent Mark. The second one works better for me. I think the portrait orientation makes the image stronger.
