Do you stay or go?

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.

MHD, sure was.. There was a guy watching from his balcony to my left and he was calling me crazy being out in the open photographing the storm.. he changed his tune when I pointed out that he was higher than me and leaning on a metal rail :)

Holy Crap !!!!!
Brilliant shot - and the guys with the fishing rods must have death wishes (or no brains !!!!)

Hehe, me and my shooting partner had the pleasure of doing a few shots under a tree :) As unlucky as it would be, being struck by lightning while photographing wouldn't be a bad way to go actually - almost Irwin-esque. Great shots as I said in the other thread, its reassuring to know there are other crazy photographers out there.

EDIT: Great, we broke Smugmug :(

Ronza, as long as you get the shot, then it is all worthwhile - I imagine a shot like that would definately get you published :)

There sure are more of us crazy photographers out there, I spent most of the 6 hours we were shooting squeezed into the back of a 4WD with Shaunus when the strikes started getting close, not sure if I'm ready to be taken out by lightning just yet though, have still got much better pics I want to still get of it :lol:
