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.

First photo is untouched save for WB correction - straight out of the camera.

This photo has been PP (obviously)...I've been watching too much TV :twisted: Image

I'm really surprised at how sharp these pics are straight out of the camera. I thought I'd have to apply the usual sharpening, but :shock: I didn't have to :D

I'll go and take a few normal pics tomorrow and see how I go :)

I like the self portrait, it has that grainy 'Not Only Black + White' magazine feel to to.

Here are more pics :) The first few were under low-ish light conditions so ISO was bumped up to 800+. I've included the exifs in the images so feel free to have a look.

Just to give you an idea of the dof...well slight idea ;)

The 20mm 2.8 definitely gives you a totally different perspective to the world, esp when you're too used to the 50mm. One thing that continously astounds me is how ridiculously sharp this lens is.

I'm going to head out on the weekend after a shoot to have a go at some landscapes, or relatively landscape shots :) I think this lens is going to be mounted to the camera for a while :D *sigh* it's such an expensive hobby but well worth it.

The most secure computer in the world is one not connected to the internet. Thats why I recommend Telstra ADSL.
