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.

Here is Evans in the Corolla, the only other major big air, and I mean big. If you notice where the dust stops and starts, it was pretty damn impressive. Again feedback is welcome, this time I was shooting in Jpeg to get a few more shots in as they came down the slope.

A few DBs in the sky Craig! Looks good, and the perspective is nice, but I would have preferred more emphasis on the dynamics of the car, i.e. get in heaps closer and shoot just the car as it comes over the crest. I appreciate that this may not have been possible though. Your shots show off the landscape well.

Shaunus - Thanks, Simon was impressive, as were a few others, heres another shot of a driver really pushing it

Trent - Yeah, some DB in there, even after I'd given it a good dry blow with the gitto (might be time for another wet clean.. :shock: ). About getting closer, this was as close as you could get at mine shaft without a media pass (definite was to beg, borrow and plead to get one next time). Also I was only shooting with the 200, a bit of extra reach would of been handy.

Alex - Thanks for the comments, personally I found shooting with the filter and the extra dust was making the shots no as sharp as I hoped, later in the day I stopped shooting with filter to try to improve the sharpness of my shots.
