My Baby has arrived!!!

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.

Congrats Sheepie, I'm prepared for the onslaught of FE photos, I expect it will take a few weeks of constant posting before you get it out of your system, so bring it on :P

Congrats Leon!! A very nice way of introducing your new lens to us and a clever representation of the way you can 'de-fish'...I look forward to seeing some beautiful imagery from you with your new toy! :)

Aha!!!

I reckon your style will really suit such a wide angle lens Leon. But please promise us that you will use the extra distortion for good, and not evil. (IE no duck images, if you can get close enough) Actually, if you can get that close to a duck, i would love to see the image. I stalked a pelican with my 12-24 on the weekend and he had a go at me as i got too close :) Good luck with a duck..

I reckon the first fishy image is much better. I feel it gives a more 'looking up' kind of, erm, feeling.
Steve.

For a crap lens I guess this pic is OK. Why not get a real wide angle though? :evil: :evil: :twisted:

Sheepie
After a few weeks you'll get sick and tired of looking at warped pictures with tiny subjects in the middle and then you'll realise what a gimmicky piece of crap that lens really is. You will be only too glad to give it away. Keep me in mind. :D
Regards
