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.

Caught this on the way home tonight.

Saw some fantastic lightning right over the mountains and thought, now there's an opportunity.

Stopped, out, set up tripod, waited, waited , waited. NO MORE LIGHTNING :cry: Finally gave up when the rain reached me and the mountains dissappeared.

Works for me. A great shot of the ranges. The bright orange bit adds to the image really well.

You seem to have quite a few dust bunnies on your sensor (or could be flies)

That is a very impresive storm shot. Strong colours and contrasts. Really works for me

Nice shot, great light.

I would love to find a way to get into the Wild Horse Mountain lookout during a storm. there would be some amazing shots from there.

We copped a thumping in Maroochydore last night.

Nice, I think the glasshouse mountains are great subjects. Like you said, a little something different this time. Really like the contrast. Top shot.
