Press launch: International Year of Physics

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.

hehe...

He would have a bit of catching up to do!

This is one case where I would have loved to have the 24-120VR..

Some of the shots I either couldnt get fast enough (with Kit) or when I used the 50/1.4 (which the AE shot was done with) I couldnt get tight enough on speakers...

Just love it. A real Segway! Who owns the Segway, Questacon? (Thereby making it a taxpayer funded segway) :-) Can the public have a ride?

Wouldn't that be a laugh riding a segway over the Commonwealth Bridge. Wonder how many accidents it would cause.

You did well with the photos, looks like they may have had special lighting there, Einstein looks a bit orange. Did you use a flash?

No flash (remember to always check your batteries in your SB-800/Sb-80dx)
It was taken with the 5/1.4 there was stage lighting in there that was shifting so I took a WB on the incandescants before I started shooting but the ocasional colored spotlights would throw casts on the images...

Yes the Segway was cool... and I think it is questicons but aparently there is now a distributor for them in Aus so we may see more of them!

And only $7995 or $300 a day. So who will be the first to post D70 pictures from a Segway? :lol:

There's a guy in Bondi who owns one.

I've seen him ride it on the sidewalks on Bondi Road.

I've also walked by him as he's done it. Lol.

Warning: Alcohol talking.

Bondi doesn't have any 'sidewalks'.
