No hurry

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.

Trevor,

Good to see you finally coming out of your shell.

He wasn't moving too fast for the AF I hope? :)

I've been experimenting with my trap focus technique!

I thought I'd start with something difficult. :D

That reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask for some time. Film SLRs used to offer a focus trap via fancy backs etc. I always assumed that DSLRs would incorporate this feature as a matter of course. Yet, I haven't been able to find it on the D2H...

Does any one know?

Cheers
Steffen.

It should be there, Steffen; the D70 certainly has it.

RTFM I suppose. :)

you see that same smug look from some drivers as they pass you in the outside lane :lol:



Pentax focus trap method:
on non AF lenses you can set the body to AF and as the subject comes into focus it will fire.

Nice-looking Leopard Tortoise!
Where was it taken?

I presume that look is to keep an eye out for vehicles that might try to run him over as he's crossing the road!

Kruger National Park, December '06.

They seem to be very determined animals - nothing distracts them. I suppose they are confident because they don't have too many predators and are naturally protected by their shell.

It could also be because it takes them such a long time to get anywhere!
