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.

The Belmore Pigeons at 400mm

Postby leek on Sat Jun 04, 2005 7:21 pm

I think we sold a couple more 80-400mm VRs today, but just in case there's any doubt about the quality of this lens - this shot is pretty much straight out of the camera with no sharpening...

For those of you who have not attended one of Birdy's mini-meets - these are the resident pigeons that act as unpaid models every Saturday morning...

Great details in the feathers.

Judging by the pose though I reckon those birds have been staked to the roof :)

I was looking at a couple of shots I took with the 400mm today, and I must say... If I don't get my bonus soon so i can buy one, I think i'm going to explode.

The sharpness of these shots is incredible. If only I wasn't saving for a deposit on a house...hehe :)
