Lift Off!

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.

I spent this morning at Cronulla Beach at the Jesus PRO AM surfing comp. Another mini meet missed due to work!!!
At long last I have been able to give my new lens (purchased from Kipper) a good run.
Give me your thoughts.

It's a good little lens and at the time that I purchased it in late 2000/early 2001 it was around the $800 mark. Bought it to go with my F80 camera. Haven't used it a great deal.

We will keep my purchase price a secret :D But lets just say that being a member of this forum has many advantages apart from Birddog!!
It really is great thanks Kipper. I have found that I need to pull back just a bit from the 300 to get really crisp shots.
Had heaps of fun today at Cronulla took well over 200 pictures. Now the fun bit of deciding which one gets used in the article.

I never really gave it much of a chance with the D70. With the F80 never really experimented to find the sweat spot. Sounds similar to the 300G in regards to pulling it back a bit from max focal length.

It payed for a few nice bottles of red.
