Some stuff wide open

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.

took me a while to get this thing warmed up cos have been so busy, click for larger images. talk abotu sharp wide open...sheesh...thanks for looking. :cheers:

this one showed me how blistering fast the AF is on the 300/2.8. this bird was behind me, lucas called out for me to look and i swung around, aimed and shot. i got 3 frames, 3 frames in focus. incredible. made my 24-70 feel slow. :shock:

and of course a meerkat underexposed to super saturate and added a 1/2CTO and grid onto the sb900 to light the little fella.

i think posting images taken with that lens should be banned - creates a serious case of lens envy :cry:

Holy crap. :D :D

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Keep that lens locked in a safe. It's a beautiful performer....Oh, and I suppose the photographer has a little skill also...he has to drive that monster. :D :D :D

Anyone want an entire Canon outfit- after seeing these my days as a photographer are clearly wasted- I should leave it to the experts and THAT GEAR.
Beautiful shots beautifully taken.

Yes, the combination of a wide aperture and long prime works wonders for the bokeh - simply magical combination
