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.

G'day all,
Well... Had my first play with the 80-400VR (thank you Birddog! I owe you a beer) 
Went mad and filled >1G card in a few hours until work called when something broke and I had to go home 
Anyway, I'm a happy little vegemite with the new toy... Today was so overcast that everything was almost dull and dark with corresponding long shutter times but with this baby, no sweat!
Only just uploaded a few jpegs to pixspot, have a sticky see what you think... All with the 80-400 and as usual had trouble getting small jepgs without stuffing up the image... Gotta get a handle on that...

Cheers,
Mudder PS. Wasn't sure whether I should post this here or in the Equipment Review part...

You got a good lens there. It is singing.
Which zoo are you at?

Looks like you were at Melbourne Zoo. Gotta love those orangs. Pics look really good. I assume they were all handheld? No stopping you now!

G'day,
Yep, Melbourne Zoo... It's amazing what you can do with zoom...
Yep, all hend-held, and with my old shaky hands that's saying something!
While watching the lion (after they eventually woke-up, doh... What a life...) he was watching the African wild dogs on the other side of the cyclone fence between them (for those that don't know Melbourne Zoo, yep you read that right, they have the Lions opposite and sight of, the African wild dogs...) he suddenly charged over to the fence snarling and growling as though he was going to attack the dogs, wow it sounded awesome just under your feet with the dogs suddenly yelping as they ran! The walk-way being about 12-15' above ground... Damn, couldn't get a shot of it though...
Ahhh, this is fun... And with that lens on, well... It comes back to that size thing doesn't it? No hood though... That's like being punk... 
Cheers,
Mudder
