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.

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

Nice one Kerry.

Most probably one of the more friendly in-laws :lol: BTW: what monopod do you use :?:


Have a great day/night,

Lovely shot Kerry. Your outlaws have just got out of bed I guess. I don't know how to say this kindly, but they don't look too good when they've just got up :lol:

The lighting on this combined with the tack sharp focus really makes the shot, and the framing with the subject towards the right rounds this out really well.

Great pic Kerry, but I am mystified as to whether it is the father-in-law or mother-in-law :roll:

Thanks for all the kind comments, guys! :D

Fozzie: Until I got the Feisol carbon fibre monopod, I used a Manfrotto 682B with a Manfrotto 3232 head. It's an excellent monopod, it's very long and has 3 little legs that can be extended out the bottom, making a very unstable tripod. It's a great pod, but can't beat the Feisol, if you have to carry it all day.

Stubbsy: Dunno that there's any good time to take shots of them. They always look pretty much the same, any time of day... :shock:

Chris: This is one of my sister-in-law's likeness, one of the prettier, nicer ones of the bunch. :( In the future, I'll be more careful to mark them properly. :?

Surely the in-laws are not all monkeys! :shock:
Did the VR help with a monopod? Amazing shot at 400 mm 1/125.

No, not all the in-laws are monkeys. Some are donkeys and other like critters..... :(

Yes, I try to use a monopod with the 80-400 whenever I want to have sharp pics and can't fuss with the tripod. VR works great on a monopod. :D
