A few from the Wetlands Meet

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.

Great day (and night) yesterday.

Many thanks to Rel and Damien for their guidance last night and finding some great subjects.

Mark,

Great to meet you last night.

Love the second spider shot and second last frog shot especially.

Good to see the results from your new 'toy' (i.e. flash bracket) - she's a beauty, eh?

Good work

Cheers

Michael

ps - who is that ugly-looking bloke on the left with green cap on?????

Mark,

As always, some stunning Macros. That 180's working distance is a treat - you were miles away yet get some excellent captures.

Looks like my c/card is getting a hider this week 8)

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Thanks folks. Was a great day. And yep, sure do love that lens :D

The flash setup worked a treat too. I just have to make sure I have two other SB800 owners with me wherever I go :lol:

Didn't get to take too many shots with teh triple setup as John and Tim had their own photos to take but here is one taken with all three.

Crappy subject and focus is a bit ordinary but technically, from a lighting perspective, I think it's worked OK.

Mark, great photos :) and I'm in love with your flash set up... giving Damian nightmares ;)

We should have tried cooking on the flashes when we found that first 'buggered' bbq.....
maybe we can try it next time - would be a great shot :)

Was a pleasure to catch up with you again, and it bloody figures that it rained on our way home doesn't it !!! Bet the frogs were going off last night :(

Oh well - next time !!!!

Hugs
