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.

Chris has very generously loaned me his 24-120/4 VR for a couple weeks to try it out on my new D600. I'm trying to decide whether I want the 24-120/4, the 24-70/2.8, (even the 28-300 I guess - but unlikely) or even no midrange zoom and just get an ultrawide, some fast primes in the middle (I have a 50/1.4 and 85/1.8 (& 90/2.  already) and one of my tele zooms (70-200/2.8, 70-300 and 50-500). Here are a couple of images in the city the day of picking up the lens  This is a monochrome HDR created from two of the shots from a bracket I took handheld in the QVB - I used the 0EV and -3EV frames only. The 0EV frame is 1/25sec @ f/4 @ 24mm at ISO 500  Also here is the straight 0EV frame - this is basically SOOC RAW - the only adjustment I made was to do a little highlight recovery. What's impressive to me about this is the dynamic range and control of highlights and shadows on the D600 - the inside of these steps in the QVB are dark but outside it was clear blue skies and the midday sun was beaming straight at those windows - they should be completely blown out and there should be no details in the shadows - Lightroom shows no shadow clipping and minimal highlight clipping (and was recoverable).  Another monochrome effort in the QVB (@ 120mm)  D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)

Glad you're enjoying it mate.
Very nice perspective I those stairs and yes you're right the dynamic range is excellent. Try doing that in a single frame on a d200. lol

Love the monochrome of the stairway. I have the same lens and it is my go to lens for versatility (on the FX), the distortion is fairly well pronounced at the wide end but easily corrected in post. I paid $1150 (ish) when DWI had it on a 'Deal of the Day' recently.
