Easter in Perisher

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.

Easter in Perisher

I'm back from my Easter break in Perisher and have lot's of posts to catch up on.
Here are a couple of Lake Jyndabyne...

Storm in the Valley, looking towards North Perisher

And one from the top of the quad chair

All those clouds produced snow on Saturday night...these dead flowers acted like little cups.

I have a million shots of snow gums which I will save for another post.
I am still really learning how to use photoshop, so happy to hear comments about PP and improvements.

I love the snow cups, bring on the real snow :lol:

I love the storm clouds over North P, to compare to #3, one of mine from 2004 (good season :D)n the same place:

Mum, I really like the first two and the fourth. The Lake Jindabyne shots are really nicely exposed (I checked on the proper monitor!).
Cheers,

Great shots..

Just got back from Guthega a couple of weeks ago. Work party for the lodge. There had been a big dump the night before. Looks like I'll be up there most weekends over winter since my daughter fancies herself as a snowboard champ.

Maybe boost the colour saturation a smidge and add a little 'unsharp mask'?

:lol: We were just imagining the difference with snow - good to look at the real thing.

Thanks Shakey. We are going to be there a few weekends as well. My son is doing junior patrolling this year at Perisher with his uncle.

Thanks agriffiths. That shot is my favourite as well. I will have another play with the saturation.

I like them all a lot, they have a natural soft lightning, the last one though seems a bit overexposed and flat, but i like em!
