New camera pix

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.

Got my replacement d50 after the original was stolen during an outing by someone unknown, whom I won't attempt to describe, but I'm sure you'll understand my feelings towards the individual.

Anyway, moving on to happier thoughts, here are some pix out of the new one which have improved my mood greatly. All taken with the kit lens.

C&c welcome. Hope you enjoy.

And finally, photographers need love too... well, sometimes. :)

John, that last shot is such an interesting image, the bright colours on the girls work well, combined with the interesting background angles of the bench, fence and chook shed roof, one is drawn into the image. Seems like it could have been a touch sharper.

I like the last one also. Your daughter (I assume) is a bit 'soft', but that appears to be a DOF issue, with the focal point being on your wife/partner/better half. Nice colours, which draw the eye to the pic.

And I agree, even photographers need luvin... :)

Thank you all for your comments.

The "softness" was due to 1/160 not being fast enough to stop the movement of fast moving females. :lol: Faster lens on the shopping list. :)

This is the preceding shot showing her just about to take off. Partner's waving hand is soft in this one.

Nice caption, Sandy Feet :D
