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.

First shots with 70-200 AF-S VR +TC17

I'd welcome any criticisms of these shots. These are straight from the camera: simply reinterpolated down to 800x532px. White balance set with Expodisc: Normally I shoot NEF, but decided to wing it with JPEG and I'm very happy with the white balance here, not to mention the bokeh!

timbo - excellent shots - the lens is certainly very good.

Do you often go to the Vaucluse cemetery?

Thanks! My first image posts here, but I've been inspired by the high quality of shots from many other members. I've also got some underwater shots up (pre-D70, so strictly not relevant I guess) at http://homepage.mac.com/dang_thang/PhotoAlbum2.html

Timmbo,
Your photos from the 70-200VR + TC-17 will make people lack of sleep due to their lust commitments.

Thanks birdy. I owe it all to you. I was suffering from lack of sleep earlier because of the price: now I'm sleeping like a baby on Valium :D

No Chris, I haven't been there yet. One good thing about cemeteries... even the winged subjects are considerate enough to stand still for the lens :wink:

Great shots.
Amazing optical quality.
I'm very soon going to be in the same boat as you so to speak.
70-200MM VR + TC-17EII
I got my D70 back from hospital today and started playing with the VR
and it is already blowing my socks off.
I'm really keen to see the combination of TC-17EII and VR.

Hi Timbo

If I recall at the mini meet you mentioned your intention was to use the glass for surfing shots. Taken any yet?

Hi Ray,

No, I haven't got to test it so far for the surf shots. I was planning to get some shots today but have been called in to work... fancy that on a day like this! I'll post some as soon as I get the opportunity: probably tomorrow morning.

No, no, no, no, no ....

Tomorrow morning is the picnic. Unless you're intending heading down to the beach tomorrow morning. As in something close to when the sun - dare I say it - rises?
