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.

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 was over in New Zealand while the boys were there but alas our paths did not cross
land of the long white cloud... not (Mt Egmont in the early morning light before stubbsy would even think of getting out of bed)
Morning Mist (the light was magic but the colour was not, hence the toned B&W)
If you listen very hard (I found the old abandoned freezing works at Patea and spent a few hours there)
Silence of the lambs (another shot from the Freezing works)
and for those that were thinking "how many shots did Firsty take"
I only had one and a half days of photography time and I took 728 photos or just under 7gig...
so due to file size difference I would have reached stubbsy total in 10 days but then again I do get up a little early  Last edited by firsty on Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:53 pm, edited 1 time in total.

That first shot of Taranaki is great. We never saw it WITHOUT cloud obscuring half of it. I like the last one too - nice muted tones

Keith,
love the first and last ones. Your PP on the last one really makes it looks like it was taken 50 years ago, well done.
Certainly is plenty to photograph in NZ.
Cheers,
André

Great shots there firsty!
Amazingly clear shot of Egmont (as Stubbsy already said, we didn't get a good view of Egmont - at least until sunset from Ruapehu), and the atmosphere of the second is great. The Freezing Works shots show an attention to detail in both the taking, and the processing.
Look forward to seeing more, and it's a pity we didn't get to catch up. We were back in Palmy on the Friday night (rather than stay in Napier in crappy weather), but didn't get online to see your message - would probably have been too late for you to get over anyway *** When getting there is half the fun! ***

beautiful pano shots there. 2nd one is my top choice since it just conveys so much atmosphere
