Dont call me a bum photographer ;)

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.

Ok, so theres a fairly prominent bum in both these pics, taken with the 105, but its not every day you spot a Koala in a tree beside the road. This one was about 20km west of Gunnedah this afternoon. I couldnt get as good a view as I wanted from the ground with the 180mm, so I put the 105 onto the D70, shoved it into my back pocket and climbed a bit up the tree, much to the amusement of passing motorists who probably didnt notice the Koala, just the strange man in the tree!

Both images are 1/500 @ f/9 with built in flash, which worked well, given the difficult lighting- very bright white clouds behind the subject.

and this one as it shows the claws nicely

Wow! I don't know if I'm more impressed by the shot or by the fact that you climbed up the tree with the D70 hanging out of your back pocket OR by the fact that you spotted the thing sitting in the tree while you were driving past!

IMHO - Nice work!

Now Gordon, you are very lucky that little customer didn't PooP right on you in that second shot. Now that would of been a CRAP shot.

Sorry Gordo :D

Nice shots.

Mic. :wink:
