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.

I'll bump your thread? You bump my thread?

I wish I was in Alaska, that's a ripper of a shot, how do you find lugging the D200 around the snowfields?

Scott, this is a really disturbing shot!! Disturbing because I'd rather I was ripping it up. :(

C&C wise - I think Louise isn't centred enough on her skis. Perhaps she knew you were taking the shot and was trying to look stylish but it looks as if she isn't forward enough. :) Nice and parallel though. So how would I know I'm no ski instructor anyway. What skis is she using - are they Volkl?

Did you use off camera flash in this one as there appears to be a shadow? Looks like in this scenario that maybe on camera could have been OK.

I used to find it a pain carrying an SLR on the slopes so was happy when P&S cameras became available.

Cool capture Scott. Another to savour for the memories.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Thanks!

I am soon going to write a review on the Topload zoom AW II + chest harness combo which has been a stellar combo for outdoors work and skiing... absolutely ideal..

I used SB-80DX for flash, I wanted louise to stand out a from the background, I was close to the ground trying to get some perspective so the foreground ground is a bit brighter, this is a moderate crop.

Oh yes... Hire skiis, Volkl which were good... left our own skis at home in the name of mobility but used our own boots...

Hi Scott,
Does the chest harness stop the camera from bouncing against your chest when skiing? Sounds like it may be worth a try.
Did you have any problems with the batteries?

Looks like nice dry packed cover. I'm envious. Enjoy.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)
