Tasmania trip: some photos

[hangdog]

Here are some photos from our trip to Tassie the week before last. Critiques are <b>very</b> welcome -- I want to do a better job next trip!

Spot metered. I should've shot this in RAW for better dynamic range. Sigh.


2. <b>ordinary</b>

3. <b>walkway, dove lake</b>

Tried shooting this with less depth of field, but more was better as it sharply delineated the stair edges, albeit at the expense of visible clutter on the left.


4. <b>elephant mask</b>

Some curves & contrast fiddling to bring out the effect I wanted.


5. <b>cement silos, devonport</b>

I'm not sure if this shot really works. I also don't know how effective the placement of the horizon is in this.


8. <b>looking for a map of tassie</b>

Nothing special about this technically, I just had to include it!

Some great photo's in there!!
But the last one just cracked me up, lovely caption

[stubbsy]

#3 and #4 are the standouts here. #3 the lovely geometry of the steps is well accented by the angle at which you've taken this shot. #4 has beautiful textures and tones.

Great pics Chuan. I like the composition of the bike wheel and the elephant mask. Well spotted.

My question with the last pic: directions to what?

[Killakoala]

The last one cracked me up and i nearly choked on my dinner
The icing on the cake is the PURE WOOL label below it, a plug for a Kiwi perhaps

Great images overall and i see you have enjoyed Tassie.

[hangdog]

Thanks, Craig, Peter, Wayne & Steve. I did enjoy myself there and would love to go for a much longer stay.

An interesting thing about Salamanca Market: I think I counted at least 5 photographers selling their work at stalls, all starting at quite affordable prices, and the images were gorgeous and inspiring. I bought a couple of inexpensively-framed (but still quite presentable) 5x7" Peter Dombrovskis prints for $17 each, a bargain.

I think it must be me (maybe) but whenever anyone posts images here within flickr I never see the images but all the code. Am I the only one experiencing this weirdness?

[lotophage]

hahahah! That last one is fantastic!

I can see it fine Geoff, on MAC osx with Safari

[Geoff]

Nope, still can't. I have tried with Internet Explorer (MSIE) and Firefox...anyone else having this problem? Anyone?

[shutterbug]

I am on IE, no problems

[leek]

Nope, still can't. I have tried with Internet Explorer (MSIE) and Firefox...anyone else having this problem? Anyone?

It works fine for me with Firefox Geoff... I can't think of anything that would make it work differently for you...

Very weird, all I see is the code.

When I look at this post as a guest, I cant see the pics, just the code. When I log in and look at the post, I see the pics.

Weird

I am logged in, any of the tech heads out there help me with this?

[leek]

Very weird, all I see is the code.

Can you cut & paste some of it and maybe someone can work out what is going on...

[Geoff]

Here it is:

[MHD]

I only see HTML code as well

Ah huh! I knew I couldn't be the only one!

I think I've got it worked out. You don't need tech heads but two heads to see Tassie images. I can say this without offending anyone because I'm from Tassie.

[leek]

Please check if Always Allow HTML is set to YES in your forum profile...

If it's not that, then I haven't got a clue what could be causing it...

[MHD]

yep... that was it

[Geoff]

Bingo. Thanx Leek!

[PiroStitch]

Dammit I'm slow, just understood the title of the last pic I guess it depends on how well maintained it is
