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.

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.

Hi all,
just got back from a surf life saving competition in Southwest Rocks NSW. We had some fantastic weather and the water temp was a glorious 21 degrees... balmy for a pale sub zero Victorian such as myself.
South West Rocks is renowned for being one of the best fishing spots in Australia.... unfortunately for me I didn't take the rod  . The scenery was just magic though!
Competition setup started at 6:00am every morning and it was all go go go until 7-8pm. I fished the camera out whenever I wasn't in an event or helping someone else setup for their next race and I'm sure I missed out on some ripper photo ops.
Here are some of the shots I was able to get. I used the 80-200 AFS and my trusty ol D70:

#4 is a great action shot, looks incredibly sharp.
#3 gives a nice feel for the event, I reckon it looks much better cropped to a pano shot without the OOF foreground people.
And that's one crazy crab in the last shot  So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

Ha ha, thatnks Rooboy. I agree with the crop... foreground is a bit distracting.
This poor girl slept solidly for most of the day. It's probably best that she didn't wake up at this point  .

Timed it well again - what rooboy said. Look out for the horizon police...especially noticeable in #2. Nice shooting. Cheers, Mick
