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.

I like a few others here recieved a D200 as a Xmas present, Santa was also kind enough to provide a Lightsphere and also a 18-200 (yet to be used). Any ways it seems tradition almost to post some shots just to prove yes I have a new camera so here is the obligatory, I've got a D200 yay post!

#1 First my cousin Nathan, well and truely sick of my and my cameras by the end of Boxing Day...
Image

#2 His Dad, Uncle Jim enjoying the warm weather.
Image

#3 The lovely texture of an old tombstone.
Image

#4 A Rose (had to poke the camera through a fence)
Image

Thoughts and feedback welcome, those that helped Santa compile her I mean his list THANK YOU very much!!!! 8) 8) 8) 8)

Ho ho ho! happy Christmas! I'm glad Santa gave you such a big gift! You must have been an extremely good well behaved person this year :)
Was it the real Santa, or did you bribe Santa with the cost of the D200 :)

Was the 2nd picture taken also using the lightsphere - do you use the dome with it?

Yeah I was using the lightsphere and most of the time with the dome (when outside), not always pointing at the subject I mixed it up a little.

Santa was well informed on what I'd like if he could afford it.

So Craig, how many shots have you fired off in the last few days, i find myself chasing our three dogs to the point where they dont run anymore.

It is such a nice camera. I found and am still finding a big step up from the d70 but i am absolutly loving the 5FPS and the shutter noise.



Another lucky one....

I'm loving the camera but I've been very restrained I think I haven't even broken the 100 shot count yet, It is a big step up from the d70, which I never truely mastered... This time I'm trying to understand the camera a little more so I don't develop bad habits like I did with the d70.

Nice shots Craig - lovely detail, exposure and DOF.

Looks like you have mastered that new weapon already.

I was a good boy but I didn't get a D200 :cry: Maybe next year :lol: 8)

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

At the time most of these were taken I think I was still trying to find out how to get it out of P mode into A or S mode.. :P

Still got a long way to go, but credit to the camera it seems to know what its doing even if I don't!
