Flinders St at 5pm

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.

Nice images Pharmer. Great candid reportage. The first and the second shot really work well and the B&W just adds another dimension that really enhances the whole feel.
cheers

Pharmer - I think the first image really stands out against the others. It has a kind of 'stopped in motion' feel to it. The people crossing the road, the bikes parked and the girl in mid conversation on her phone. This is a stylish urban photograph...I can see it somehow in an advertising campain, perhaps for a mobile phone company...nice work!

I love the pics mate.

What lense did you use for each of them? Judging by how soft I've been told the 70-300 is and with the exif saying 70mm ish I'm gonna guess you used the 18-70?

I used the Nikon 18-70 for these - pretty good lens, no complaints from me about it.

My Tamron 70-300LD is a little soft above 200, but slightly better than the Nikon 70-300G I tried - but hey, they are very cheap lenses and they are OK if you use F/8 - F/11

You've now confirmed my decision to get an 18-70 for my D70 :P
