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.

Mute swan shots with AF-S VR70-200mm

In case some one out there has not decided to buy this lens yet :) :)

All pictures are shot handheld.
I know that there are some "burnout" on the pictures but I think they are OK to share with you.

Very nice Fleming. Are D70 cameras expensive in Denmark? I spent a couple of months there and noted prices were quite high on most consumer items.

Yes they are expensive. The price now is arround 1800,- USD with the 18-70 kit lens.
I bought my camera in Denmark because of the guarantee, but the VR70-200 I bought in USA. (Adorama)
Best regards,

Hi d70,

gratulations to the photos of the swans in flight.
They are very cool.
I believe I've seen these photos on dpreview.
What focussing method did you use ?

Cheers

Great shots Flemming. But I guess the swan is new to flying - it's dipping its wings into the water each time. ;)

Hi d70, nice shots even with the burnout bits, it's a hassle sometimes when that happens but thems the brakes. Nice pics though and thanks for sharing.
