Surf Life Savers......

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.

Surf Life Savers......

Shot this at Bilgola beach last weekend.
First round of the current competition.
Makes you feel kind of un-fit and un-healthy watching these guys/girls in the surf.
But hey, I was carrying my camera, thats my type of exercise...!!!!!!

Hey ozczecho,
I was standing about 10 foot from the waters edge and using a 70-200 lens.
I am considering trying to sell a print to the Steyne in Manly.
Although as I dont drink alcohol, if they offered me free beer for a year it wouldn't be a good deal for me...!!!!!

Hey Geoff,
I live in Queenscliff.
I would definately be interested in a mini-meet soon.
Drop me an email and we can arrange something.
I can't get any more lens lust right now, I just bought two Canon L lens in the last couple of weeks (ouch).

That's a premium shot Marty,

And it's curious to note that it also contains that Master Foods American Mustard colour you are so famous for.

Cheers,
