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.

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.

Nice mate, I like the longer exposure shots of the bus and the runs lit up at night. Gotta love the beer and liquor vending machine!!!

Looks like your having a great time! Like Raskill I like the night shots, the bus especially!
The shot of the two of your with the great vista behind, it took a moment to register the rest of the mount is hidden by cloud, for a second I thought you had a strange flat top mesa in snow country.

Keep a look out for two of my Aussie mates (Kieran and Rob - 30-ish) who are over there enjoying the snow as we speak.

Looks like a wicked place for snow (and beers). 8)

Hi Darb,

thanks a lot for sharing.
We can sit here and melt (unless we have airconditioning) and
look at the cold hemisphere.

Cheers,

volcano infact! ... means the thermal hot springs here are the real deal.

Was pretty cool sitting in a thermal nutrient rich rockpool with bubbling hot water, outdoors in the middle of the snow. Couldnt stand much longer than about 20 minutes though, and that was with a beer. ;)
