Some of my first shots with the D300

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.

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.

Some of my first shots with the D300

Postby Benny2707 on Mon Jan 14, 2008 1:11 pm

A few holiday shots for your comment!

I took these all over the fine state of NSW. The first one 'Jack' was taken in Deliliquin, the second 'Graffiti' was taken in Byron Bay and the third 'The Royal' was taken in Urana.

The PP on Jack is pretty crude but I'm just learning. Need to soften or feather the edges in Photoshop but just not sure how to do that yet as I'm teaching myself. The PP on the other shots was done with the help of a friend who is pretty handy at it.

Would love some criticism and hints and tips. I'm pretty new to the photography scene and need all the help I can get.

Cheers

Ben

I really like the first two... Jack is just adorable and your composition is superb framing him in the corner like that!.. also excellent composition an PP on the graffitti... the blurred foreground and mono background make the graffitti stand out so well..

I do like the last one.. but feel it needs a slight straightening to make it rock.. :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

Thanks for the comments Sue. Really appreciate your opinion.

I'm just starting out at the moment so any hints and tips you might be able to give me would help a great deal.

I'll post a few more in the coming days that I have taken but am just working on to sharpen up. See how I go.

Makes me want to go and have a beer at the Royal.

Like the bokeh on the dog shot too.
