5 More From The Twelve Apostles

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.

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.

Still more:

Is what I'm doing (ie. posting quite a few posts with similar style images as I process them) ok? Or would it be preferable for me to only do 1 post with all the images in it?... Don't want to upset anyone by posting so much.

I think a few images per post is a better option.

allows for dialup users to not be driven nuts also

What your doing is fine for me. I've noticed a trend that if you post too many shots say over 8, you'll get less individual feedback and more just in general comments or only "I like number X". If you keep the shot number under eight you generally get a few more indepth posts providing feedback on more of the posts. (its only a general observation).

The other trend is when you actually choose to post, there are a few "dead zones" where if you post new material it sometimes gets missed or rarely looked at, being a primarily Aussie based forum this is mainly tied to timezones and the day of the week, sorry I've gone way off topic.

That was my thought too :)

I would have LOVED to be able to somehow get down on the beach below the official viewing area to get a lower perspective of these giants...

I somehow doubt I have enough money to get down there though... And I didn't bring my fake 'I'm Steve Parish' ID with me :wink:

Paul next time you make a fake Steve Parish ID, can you make me a fake "I'm Ken Ducan ID" ? Then we can down to the bottom for a better perpective :)

never having been there, not sure how one actually gets down there

is there a locked path or stairs that you can somehow get a pass for, or do you need climbing gear and just do it??
or perhaps a case of climbing gear and permit??
hire a wocka ??
flap arms really, really fast?

If there were locked stairs then I'd have shots from down there :-)

From what I could see you'd need either a helicopter or climbing gear and more than likely a permit.(I'd opt for the helicopter.... easier to get back up :) )

Out of a bunch of outstanding images, number 5 - Gibson's Step's - is an absolute ripper. I must get down there one day, as the photographic possibilities are obviously endless.

I went out 5 times in total.

2 sunsets and 3 sunrises. Also the light changed quite considerably as the sun rose/set.

The first shot in this series was taken after then sun had set (9:04pm... the exif shows 8:04. Forgot to change it for Daylight Savings didn't I?).
