NZ Teaser

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.

OK - I've given Stubbsy enough time to post the first pic from our trip, but he seems more intent on producing graphs!

I haven't yet had any time to go through my shots properly (I took a similar number to Peter), but as a teaser of what's to come here's a selection from the North Island...

I intend to spend the next few months worth of free time going through all my shots, so there's plenty of time for you all to get sick of them!

Looking forward to seeing more shots from both of you!

You guys should consider putting together a little photo essay for our new forum section, "Personal Photographic Journeys," or for Chimp.

Edit: Btw, what am I looking at in #2?

Cheers,

A nice sample there Leon. The Rotorua mud shot is a cracker.

Interesting Images

Well done on the NZ expedition.
I guess if you could be paid on volume, you would be very wealthy.

We had a family trip to the Mainland in July last year, during the big freeze down south. It made for some fantastic image opportunities.

Feel free to browse them in the D200 - New Zealand 2006 Gallery at our website.
They are a little large for the forum posting specifications.

Looking forward to seeing more pictures of your trip Sheepie.
D300, D200, (D70 - now with daughter) and heaps of Nikon stuff.
