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.

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.

You must be one happy bunny John with some very nice results. But, as a Tasmanian, surely you should know that the brewery is Cascade :roll: :lol:

Clean that mouth out.




Beautiful images John. I think you might have stumbled upon the best Nikon/Nikkor combination ever.

WOW! Can you write a little review on the lens after you have shot a few more pics? Your posted pics are stunning!

John

This is doing nothing for my D3 lust.

That 3rd image really stands out for me - it has a very painterly quality to it thanks to your great use of the warm light (and some high quality PP too I'd say)

Yes all of them are. I've added some notes on how they're done in my Hobart docks thread.

Go on Peter, you know you want to. I am also seriously impressed with Alison's D300. It does just about as good a job as the D3. Doesn't quite match the D3 at ISO3200, but you don't often go there.

I'll keep that in mind Geoff.

Not a problem Matt. It won't be for a couple weeks though. Photoshopping a gorgeous model today, shooting a fashion parade tonight and a Forest Festival on Sunday. The Forest Festival will have heaps of big shiny trucks and machinery just crying out for low perspective, in your face, 14mm images. Yum.



Cheers
