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.

As most of you know there were some large fires in the
Gap/Keppera/Mitchelton/Ennogera areas. Here's a couple of happy snaps
from last night. Unfortunately the best shots to get were in the
middle of the day and I couldn't get up there due to work.
Excuse the dodgy shots of the helitak 668 and 671, I stuffed up...
ICC is still setup there this morning, and many pumps and other
vehicles are performing recon of the area to plot todays attack.
Strong winds and high temperatures are expected tomorrow and this
evening.
cheers

Interesting shots, Mark. Some of those are quite dramatic.

Very evocative images, Mark.
I used to live less than 1km from Settlement Rd where those fires were raging. The whole area through to Mt Coot-tha is very leafy and fires there have the potential to cause significant losses to property.
The firies did a super job preventing that.
Hope you haven't singed your eyebrows.

 yes... very hot... the air temperature was absolutely amazing. there was a relative humidity of below 10%, coupled with a mid 30s shade temp and a lot of thick smoke....
the only down side of taking the sort of shots i do is that your camera gear always smells of either bushfires or other burnt materials... but hey.. someone's got to do it..
cheers

Wow, frightening stuff, makes one realise just what a tough and dangerous job the fire-fighters have...
