swans with 70-200mm VR

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.

swans with 70-200mm VR

Hi all,

probably not the greatest shots, however I' impressed with the sharpness and contrast of this lens.
I have done no PP on the first image and only a little levels
on the second image.

p.s.: if you haven't got an OP/TECH USA Pro Loop Strap yet,
go and get one !
It is comfy to carry 2kg around your neck with one of these.

Enjoyed the first pic best - the image you captured certainly does show off a remarkable lens.

I too liked the first one best. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with your new lens.

Speaking of Roulettes, apparently there was a mid air colision between 2 down at Sale today. Both pilots ok but one plane crashed!

thank you

Postby christiand on Fri Jan 21, 2005 10:22 pm

thank you all for your comments.

I'm glad that nobody got hurt when the collision and crash occurred.
I hope that the RAAF Roulettes will still fly on Australia Day in Canberra.

Birddog, I will try my best to get you a good photo or two.
I'll try to get some panning practice before the 26th.

Regards
Christian

Yes one pilot should be back into action straight away. The other may have some back soreness. A lady saw the whole thing and watch the plane crash in her field. She was so glad the pilot was ok that she went and gave him a big hug!
