D80 Street

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.

D80 Street

Postby aim54x on Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:01 am

I have been rather quiet lately in terms of picture posts so I thought I may as well post a few from last weeks roam around with my D80. It was a rather strange experience using a camera that is so familiar yet so foreign (I own and use F80's which operate the same way, the colour/exposure/AWB is quite unlike any of my other DSLRs), especially since it was coupled with a zoom lens (I have been shooting primes lately).

"More Vivid" mode - whatever happened to this option?

"Vivid" and spot metering works well

How could I resist that nice multicoating reflection?

Finding where the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 excels

Centre weighted metering isnt bad

#2 is nice, I know you were checking out vivid but had you considered monochrome?

#3 is an interesting take on a tried and tested theme

see.. the D80 is a damn awesome camera!

That second image is great, simple yet complicated! you could process this a multitute of ways, from BW to polaroid and I think they would all work. Nice work cameron!

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I was thinking that....contrasty monochrome would work nicely....on the netbook atm, but I may give it a whirl later on the PC.

I never doubted it Gerry, I have used D80's before, but that was a long time ago...this camera will be IR converted in the next month or two though.
