QFRS State RAR Challenge

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.

The setup by the CMT guys was incredible. They were running three pits:

1. Unlimited time - Challengers had no time limit to extract a patient. Use of TR/ET RAR gear.
2. Rapid Pit - 10 minute time to extract a non-responsive critical patient. Use of standard pump RAR gear.
3. Limited Pit - 20 minute time to extract a patient without the use of hydraulic cutting gear. No hydraulic gear, battery operated only.

And to keep with the trends the boys from up your way took the awards for all scenerios, took best team leader 'commissioner' award, and even the medic from up that way took out the best medic 'commissioner' award. An incredible team.

I just chatted with the area director for up here tonight and he just gave me the go ahead to do a bit of a shoot in station 11, and I spoke to a few of the fellas that were in the team that competed as well.

I was also hoping to get the low down on what was happening with burning off of the range escarpment tomorrow near picnic point, but they said thats all council run unfortunatly im out of the loop with the council.

I will have to come down again one day mark I still owe you some beers.
