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.

HOT! It kind of looks like it is smiling (or I could be up way too late). :D

Nice capture. How's the D300? Loving I take it?

Nice one Mark - just wish the face was in focus (edit - maybe its my monitor?) - but I bet you are having fun with that combination :)

Very cool Mark. :)
I'm curious though about the ISO 100 - was it a conscious decision to shoot at L 1.0 (ISO 100 equiv) or do you just keep your camera set at this normally? Did you shoot any at ISO 200?

Just seeing how people are setting up their D300.

:wink:

Thanks for the comments folks :D

Simon, I have been experimenting with the different ISOs to see what, if any difference, there is in the quality.

The documentation I have read suggest that the D300 and D3 will provide the best results at ISO200 and that the lesser ISOs would only be used where a slower shutter speed was required or there was too much available light.

Time will tell, but it's a lot of fun finding out :D

Cheers Mark. I thought it was a case of experimentation. Certainly seems to have worked nicely.

Haven't even looked at that yet :roll:

I must say that although the camera is similar physically to the D200 it really is a whole new ball game :D
