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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Well - the weekend's over and I'm going over all the pics. Had my first 'real' experience with leaving the ISO at 1600! #!@$^$%@&^$@!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Up until now I've noticed pretty early on - this time, had a whole card full of what would have been really good shots IF I had checked! Oh well...

At least we had fun :)

I would never have done something like this sheepie. Never ever. Especially at a safari in Disney World a month and a half ago. I just don't forget that type of thing. Another thing I never forget is setting Exp Comp back to zero after setting it to -2.7 when taking pics of sunsets within the last couple of hours. You need to really get with it man! :roll:

Seriously great shot no matter the ISO. Absolutly perfect timing.

Yes - pity I was at the wrong end of the camera this time though! (it's me getting wet)

Sheepie, don't sweat it - we've all made that mistake, whether we admit it or not.

Check your aperture and shutter speeds next time, to see if they roughly coincide with the "sunny 16" rule (helps if you know or have some concept of ths rule). If you're getting ridiculously high shutter speeds, you'll know your ISO is outta whack. ;)

Yeah, and it also helps if it's not in 'dumb mode' as this was shot in (I didn't have the camera you see, and it's just too difficult to explain to others what all the dials do!).
Am really annoyed with myself though - I've been looking forward to this weekend for so long (we organised it at Christmas time) and now I am struggling with PP to salvage what I can. Oh well, gives us an excuse to go back there I guess!

Sheepie
If you haven't already done so...download a copy of noiseware from the internet. It will clean up your 16oo ISO pics like you won't believe. Just type noiseware into Google and it should be the first entry.

Sheepie - 1600iso it may be but still a very good pic and to think the owner of the D70 is the one getting a soaking :roll:
