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.

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.

At approximately 2115 pumps were turned out to a lowset house fire in Beachmere. Upon arrival crews found a brick duplex well involved, with report of possible residents within the structure, however primary and secondary searches found no occupants. One duplex was completely destroyed, whilst the second sustained heat and smoke damage. QFRS vehicles on scene were 528a (Caboolture pump), 528k (Caboolture ET), 529a (Bribie Island pump), 529y (Bribie Island pump 4x4), and 525a (Petrie pump). QAS and QPS were also on scene.

The rest of the shots can be found here: http://www.firefighters.com.au/gallery2 ... beachmere/

Great action shots Mark. I enjoy seeing your vision of firefighters. Unfortunately people lose something, such as houses, when it happens.

Good stuff mate.

Great shots Mark.
However they are sad as Steve has said, it means someone or a family has lost all that they belong. I hope they were insured.

Great shots Mark - just glad that no-one was injured ...... material stuff you can replace, life is a bit harder.
