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.

Here are a couple of images to demonstrate what reasonable results might be achieved, hand held, in very low lighting conditions.
Both shots were 1 second at f/8, 120mm.
Both shots are converted from NEF, using Capture. Post processing was minimal, light noise reduction in Capture at the "better quality" setting of 8 and 6 respectively, before conversion. No other noise reduction was applied. After conversion, a mild contrast and sharpening was applied after resizing for the web.

If a kitten wasn't sleeping on my arm at the moment, I'd write more, but I really love that second shot... absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks, Leigh. I've been wanting to shoot that shot for some time. This isn't what I wanted to capture, but it's close.  I think I'll have to do some serious bracketing to get the shot that I envision.

At those speeds I am respectful of your handholding ability and technique Kerry. Excellent control of noise in the images. I like the moodiness of the second. Great effort.

G'day Kerry,
Shows the difference skill makes, 1 second hand-held  You must have nerves of steel! Oh and the first thing I noticed though... That little statue on the mantle looks like an Akita... Still miss my old fella who passed away a few years ago... Big fat cuddly bear that loved everyone... Aka Andrew

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
Andrew: The statue is indeed, an akita. I have a pair of the real things, approximately 250lbs of dogs. My female weighs over 130lbs.  They are a great breed. I really wish I'd had a good camera when they were young and looked their best.
