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.

I went out to Cardinia Reservoir this morning to try out the new lens. I wanted to take some photos of kangaroos and after a little walking we found a few in the grass. Both photos were handheld and have been processed. So far I'm very happy with the lens but I think I'm going to need to do some more testing. :wink:

Speaking of Kangaroos. When I was down at Bushrangers Bay near Cape Schanck I was coming back on the walk and it was approaching twilight. Came around a bend and stopped dead in my tracks as there was a Grey in front of me about 6-8m away. If only I'd reloaded my F80 after the last shot I could of got a great picture.

I have the photos back from all my outings down that way. There are some great photos in the set that I took. Som really good ones from Stoney Point which I'm happy with. Shame the sky wasn't better but if I scan them in I might see if I can fix them a bit.
