NZ on film

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.

Have been going back through some old film shots from 2001 when we went to get married in NZ - here's a few samples (scanned from prints, no PP other than some slight cropping)...

All of these places are on the list to see again in Feb next year - this time with some decent digital equipment :) Looking forward to sharing more with you all then!

In the meantime, there's a few more here: http://sheepie.smugmug.com/gallery/2090318

Leon

#2 is excellent. I'm sure you'll have some better shots with your greater skill level this time around. Of course you'll also have me with you showing you how to make the most of that crap Kiwi countryside with your fisheye lens. :wink: :lol:

Fantastic imagery. Snow capped mountains (volcanos) look so nice and make such great subjects. Makes me want to go to NZ.

I love the last image, the decent from the Homer Tunnel into Milford Sound. Brings back memories of my young days when some mates and I rode pushbikes into Milford Sound back when the road was unsealed!

It was downhill all the way and as we passed one lookout I passed a bunch of tourists standing by a bus looking at the scenery and so I shouted out "No Brakes" as I whizzed past. A moment later my mates rode past the same bus load and they got applauded! The only unfortunate part about this corner of New Zealand is that it is only road in and out... getting out involved climbing back up the hill.

#1 taken from Taranaki, #2 is from the Desert road, is #3 from the Huka river? Great shots.
