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.

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.

Arthur, great capture, particularly like the way the eye is in focus and the wing tips out because of movement.



ps How do you find the AFS speed on the 300 f4?

Arthur,

I take it that you have a new toy, AF-S 300mm f/4 :?:

Nice shot. IMO I would just prefer a tad more cropping on the LHS to take the other part seagull out of the picture, but truly superb.

Arthur, you are getting a reputation as the gull man - and well deserved for excellent pics :D

Thanks

Dear all,

Thanks. I am glad that this shot works. Your encouragement certainly help affirms the motivation to go out there and do better.

Time to clean the sensor. The AFS of the lens is not as fast as kit lens - because its F4 and heavier lens elements to move. However, it is lots faster than 80 - 200 AFD and 80 - 400 AFD.

D70 occassionally freezes up when i use 1.4X Kenko Pro with the 300 F4. The problem seems to go away when I fit the Kenko the lens first and then the combo to the D70.

cheers,

Arthur
