MVA Kippa-Ring (dialup warning.)

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.

Hi Mark, like the two shots with the police car in them. Just an observation, there seems to be no shot which tells the story as such. Not that there has to be, but an all encompassing shot might frame the story with the others highlighting details

You are getting good experience in how to get your images into the media. Building up some contacts?

I would love to see one of my pictures in the paper. Be a bit of a rush.

Good one Mark!

I'm surprised not to see a L or a P plate on the car.

slowly building up the contacts.... just need to start finding the 'bigger' contacts :)

if you want to see some of your pictures in the paper start with your local rag.... they will usually accept shots of something newsworthy.

Mark,
That's the way how to get into the big media corporate.
Mostly the big data base of contact will help you flow thru this channel & industry easy.
The trail brought me in with AP (USA) back in the 80, from the War Correspondences, whom I had known in the war zone, once I was in the military, ferried them to many "hot" AO. I had a Pentax in my Flight Helmet bag all the time and they taught me how to shoot with the camera not the miniguns and rockets.

Mark - I was also surprised not to see a P plate and your explanation of choice in Qld is madness - great pics and I like the way you have obliterated the number plates 8)

Hopefully the government will follow the lead of other states and make P plates mandatory... but that's debate for another thread! :)

Yeh... I've started 'obliterating' number plates, especially on the pics I have sent to newspapers. I had a call from a mother of a deceased person who noticed the non-obliterated number plate on a motorbike shot in the paper... and have had nothing but problems with the person since. I took for granted that the papers would just blur the plate, but obviously not....
