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.

Today I attended the Queensland Combined Emergency Services Academy at Whyte Island to photograph one of the training scenarios. QFRS vehicles involved were 530a (Capalaba Pump), 524a (Eatons Hill Pump), 509a (Camp Hill Pump), 512a (Taringa Pump), 516k (Chermside ET), 502I (Roma Street LP), and BA2 (Area Director).
The scenario involved a block of units. A person cooking food on the stove, who leaves the kitchen to quickly finish repairing his vehicle in the garage. The car in the garage is jacked up whilst the person works on the vehicle, however it becomes unstable and entraps the person underneath. The food on the stove ignites. Meanwhile a drink driver has crashed into the block of units, causing an electrical fire to start. Persons are within the burning block of units. An electrician on the roof repairing lines is injured due to the electrical fault and live wires.
That's my old man with the cutting saw  He was brilliant!
There are 55 further images from the training in the gallery which you can view at the following location if you are interested:
