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.

Bloody Rain

Postby Bob G on Fri Apr 07, 2006 12:19 am

Was up at Noosaville recently and wanted to photograph some birds.

Then down came sudden heavy rain and there was a flurry of activity on the river as people packed it in.

I got under a shelter shed and caught the atmosphere of the activity with this shot.

Sort of fulfilled my original purpose, but not as I had expected

What do you think?

What else can you say but a "booty-full" shot.

Nice capture glad you had the shelter.

A bit voyeuristic for me.
It's little wonder that the community is getting worried about candid shots when this type of shot is being posted and commented on as it is.
