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.

Thanks for the kind words folks.

A few more christiand, just added the 2nd. I'll post more of this series as soon as I can. What size & file format would you like? .NEF or .JPG? Should I post it here on the boards (the FAQ states 800 pixels), or I can email it to you?

It was my first outing with the newly acquired VR lens, I didnt get a chance to watch the practice so didnt have a clue and wasnt able to capture it as well I could (the motion/action shots). The coloured lights caused me some problems, but meh!, I really am not savvy enough with Photoshop to play with curves. I'll sort my images first and then probably ask for advice on colour correction.

All the shots were taken from the left hand side of the stage (there was a paid professional whom I didnt want to disturb, as well as the other seated folks' view by running from left to right) and my mum would have kicked my ass for causing a scene. I was actually joking told by her not to bring my "bazooka lens" :roll:

Hi el nino,

mum was concerned about you taking the bazooka lens ? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Someone (a female) implied to me that the size of the lens on a male is somewhat reciprocal to the size of his willy ! :shock:
I have a TC-17EII plus the 70-20VR which according to the lady (let me not go there ...) ... :cry:
It must be lens envy an behalf of the ladies : lol: :lol: :lol:

800x600 is a fine format to post.

And thanks for posting another photo, please do more.

Regards,
CD

Ewwww :oops:
I hope my mater wasnt insinuating that I have a small wang, but who knows, maybe she thinks it is still the same size as when I was a child? :D

She just gets peeved when she sees me luggin all my camera stuff around.
Jealousy me says, but probably just trying to control her child , who is a man now... It is amazing how many times I say "geez mum, I AAAMM 26 now, gimme a break".
Bloody mothers (like girlfriends/wives) cant live with them, nor without them. Especially a mother's cooking.
