Back from the snow ...

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.

These are not my best, I was mostly there to ski and I doubt I will ever see lighting like <a href="http://www.sundstromimages.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=309">this</a> again!

But here we go ...

I like these....... the second image is good but is looking for something a bit more..... maybe more contrast, to give it an edge

I really like the photo which was in the link to your gallery. The ones here seem to have underexposed the snow.

The first shot shows how thin the snow cover is this year. Which lodge were you at? GSC or somewhere up that road by the look of it.

Thanks! it is one of my better shots!

with these shots, I was trying not to blow to much of the detail, I guess I should up the contrast or exposure a little more.

It did snow on Friday, but the cover did not last long as it was quite hot the following day

Just up the hill from GSC, I was at the Jagungal, my family have been members since it was built.

Really like the second Dave, not sure about the yellow sign though! As for the third, was it the abominable snowman or even Yeti tracks?

Thanks ozimax!

the sign is a bit distracting, there were plenty of yellow / red signs about with all of the closed runs and I didn't have much time left before I had to head back to the lodge ... that or my skiing / drinking buddies were about to clobber me for stopping to often to take photos!

I'd say Yeti, I think snowmen have smaller feet :lol:

I agree :lol:

Unfortunately our club pulled out of the Balmain cup.

I would love to see the photos if you do take some so make sure you post em! :D
