Windy evening

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.

Haven't posted pics for a while as I've been too busy getting the new place ready :D Anyway, went for a ride after work today and noticed the storm rushing in so quick rushed home and grabbed the camera.

Two lessons from this evening:
1) Bring a jumper instead of taking photos in the blustery wind in t-shirt and shorts
2) Wipe lens/filter clean before attempting to take pics (spent a few minutes cloning out all the gunk that's accumulated on the filter :evil:)

Anyway, enough of the pre-amble here are the pics:

Not sure if it's too dark on the CRTs but on the LCD it's pretty bright :S (Note to self: must look for CRT)

Cheerio.

I like the painted effect caused by the blur you created of the last one Pirostitch. Nice image.

Nah I don't. Was a local lake in the SE suburbs :D Had NYE parties at Patterson's though a few years ago. Managed to grab some nice shots, but those were in jpeg and not raw so not much could be done :(

Thanks for the comments :D I like the swings, swing post and the last tree pic too.

I can sense the movement in the pics. The B&W rendition of the first image is very nice indeed. Well done. It was well worth going out in the wind.
