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.

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.

fozzie,
Is this the plane you're flying with to the AA? and it seems to me you're in love with the AF-S 300 + TC. Good combo.

I was at a spot near the airport on Saturday and to get a shot like that would have required you to use a wideangle lens(The planes where that low off the ground an came at you from head on). The only difference was they were landing :D

With that lens and TC, I'm sure it was at high, perhaps he cropped it, am I correct fozzie?

A few dust bunnies there Fozzie.

Love the shot. Improvements? Maybe some fiddling with shadow/highlight adjustment to bring out the underbody detail?

I would have liked to have been closer. Unfortunately at the movement with the new International/Intertsate Terminal (all with air bridges at last) being built, completion around end October/early November the place is hectic with tradespersons. What you experienced on Saturday is what I am looking for. Plus today they were taking off into a strong SW breeze, so take off was very short and as a consequence harder to get closeup shots. BTW: when do you get your D2x :?:

Cheers,
fozzie

Yes it was cropped.

Those darn dust bunnies. Looks like I will be doing a CCD cleaning DIY at 'AW'. Matt K. did my camera at Easter, but I was distracted during the process :oops:

Thank you for your hints, I will investigate.

Use your Giotto to do the dry blow first, don't leave them get stuck on the CCD in humidity.

I will use the Giotto again, tonight or tomorrow. BTW: Adelaide rarely suffers from humidity. If we do, it is Summer months.

But, thank you for your advice.
