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.

Hi all,

I finally found a program that allowed me to recover some corrupt files off of my storage unit.

These were taken up in Darwin at the V8 round back at the start of July.

Gotta love the heat haze!

Shaun, the last one is wicked mate. Clone out those lampposts on the left and it's even better IMO.
Nice work with the heat haze too.

thanks for the kind words, very happy that i could recover them.

as for cloning out the lights, i think they give you a good indication of how big that cloud was.

Given the amount of smoke I think I was following that van up the highway last week it was pouring out a similar cloud when I went past it :D :D :D


ps was the heat haze from the jet or just a summers day in Darwin?

I am sure you could probably arrange for the flames to come out of sides
