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.

Acording to my trusty invertabrate zoology book it is a centipede. (One pair of legs per body segment as opposed to millipedes which have two pairs of legs per body segment).

Thanks Suzanne. It was very fast and just zipped along all over the place. Bugger of thing to get a decent shot of. I'd be panning along just about to take the shot and it would change direction instantly.

That's a centipede. They normally live in composting debris under old logs or slabs of bark.

The variety I'm familiar with (see below) is more of a dark red than blue and generally you find them up to around 4 inches long.

The bite is fairly painful, much like a a couple of Bull ants biting at once. I know, I've had one get stuck inside a glove while doing some farm fencing :shock:

Many years ago when we had a fishing shack up Double Island Beach we used to regularly see them about nine inches long.

Yep, that was it. I was trying to get a little DOF and a reasonable shutter speed as the thing was going crazy :D Not easy panning along a 180 Macro 60cm from a fast moving subject.
