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.

Hi all,

I've just found this forum through a link posted on the dpreview forums... is good to have an Australian D70 place!

Anyway, I thought I'd post a link here to my gallery - http://www.kmaisch.com/gallery/

Feel free to post any comments on the site. The latest photos on there are in the "Others" section - some people candids from the Falls Festival.

Cheers,
Kim :)

G'day kmaisch,
I commented on the festival_girl (great shot) and didn't even notice you were a new member...

Was hoping to get to Tassie over the next couple of months, any tips on good walking tracks for landscape stuff?

Welcome to the forum!

Cheers,
Mudder

thanks :)

mudder: definately check out Cradle Mountain for these type of landscapes: http://www.auswalk.com.au/images/TAS-cr ... untain.jpg
You could do the Overland Track in this area... I have not done it myself but I hear it is wonderful - it takes a few days though so you need to carry everything with you. Heres a bit of info: http://www.pacificislandtravel.com/aust ... dtrack.asp

Coles Bay for these type of landscapes: http://www.geoffmurray.com/sunset-coles-bay.jpg

Theres a lot of other places, but Cradle Mountain and Coles Bay areas are my top two! :)

Welcome to our place

Architectural photography and presenting buildings in an artistic manner has long been a favourite part of photography for me.

Your work in this genre is outstanding.

Hope we see more of you. :D

wow, thanks for the nice comments everyone :)

It was Kristine Okeefee's dpreview post (in reply to my "australian laws for public photography..." question that pointed me to this place. The quality and quantity of the replies on this forum is actually heaps more than on dpreview!

Really well thought out composition Kim. Goves me some good ideas and pointers. Colors are spectacular. I'd like to know what you do to create them so vividly. I'm very impressed.

I too found this place via a post on DPreview. My wife never forgives that place.

thanks everyone.

As far as colours go, I use Adobe RGB Colour Space (convert to srgb before putting on the web) and one of the Photogenic custom curves which boosts the mid-tones. I sometimes do a slight secondary adjustment of the curves in photoshop if the image is washed out, however I think most of the plant shots are un-touched.

Cheers,
Kim

Hi Kmaish,

I love your photos and realize how much more I could learn.
There is so much to get into and learn.
Your photos are exiting, they are alive.
