Day at the Races

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.

Day at the Races

Postby big pix on Mon Jan 07, 2008 9:31 pm

well today was my first big day out with the D300 and the Bigma on a mono pod...... both performed very well. Out of camera, no sharping, crop, convert to sRGB slight levels to brighten image for smugmug

I was shooting at various shutter speeds and panning but this is close to what I was trying to achieve..... blurred foreground and background, movement in the horses, but with the horse head, jockey or number sharper........ I will be going back to try this again....... but with the 120-300mm Sigma

60th @ f13 & lens @ 100mm

Very nice, you can feel the movement. My fav would be number two if you could clone out that post.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.
