Some long range photography

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.

Some long range photography

Went out to Sydney airport today and exercised the 80-200 with a 2X convertor. Total focal length equal to 600mm.
The first pic shows the destructive effect of heat haze. A common problem when using long lenses on a hot day.

It is an older F/2.8 push/pull AF lens. It does a nice job. By the way...I beleive in the end...we know everything. It comes to us at the exact moment of death. We just don't get time to pass it on.

You should send that last one in to the Terror Hotline. That bloke jumping the fence looks dodgy.

I am amazed the AFP didn't arrest you, or were they taken from a speeding Volvo?

A quick question for you? When I upload to pbase some of the exif data seems to disappear (ISO etc) but you seem to have been able to keep it in your shots.

Is there an easy trick to this?

Cheers

I'm not sure why this is happening. I download my images to the desktop using Nikon Transfer. I have set this program to capture the full Exif by clicking on the little tool icon at top right and clicking in the box that refers to the Exif. I then process in Photoshop CS and resize for Pbase in CS before saving into a folder. It may be you are not capturing all of the Exif when you initially download from the camera....but that's just a guess.

Thanks Matt. I think because I don't use nikon transfer that is the problem. I just drag the photos accross to my c: drive from the card reader in the laptop using explorer (I hear the good workflow people gasping)

G'day,
I might be a heathen, but all I've ever done is cut and paste from the card reader to my hard drive... I never thought that would make any diff as you're copying the entire file etc...
Cheers,
Mudder.
