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.

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.

Me playing with my new toys 18-200VR and D200, trying to capture movement and seeing what I can and can't hand hold. (Overall I'm impressed by the equipment but I'm in need of plenty of pratice).

Thanks for the feedback the RHS of the train shot has been bothering me so I tried a crop, but I'm not convince it fixed it.

maybe just crop out the phone box rather than the pole that joins onto the arch. now the arch looks like it's floating there.

Craig , agree with Piro crop the telephone box only.

But how do you find the 18-200 on the D200. Is the quality better than the Kit lens?

These shots look good, I have the 24-120VR and the kit lens and would look at replacing both of these with the 18-200Vr.


Cheers

Thanks for the feedback I'll put the poll back in. :)

18-200 wise, I'm very happy so far, it seems sharpen enough for me (not like the 80-200 is) but then that isn't what I'm expecting, but I'm happy to consider selling my kit lens and 70-300 and just keep this one to cover both ranges. The fact it has VR, which so far has worked very well it also an added bonus. My experience so far has lead me to believe I'll be more then covered with this and the 10-20 (and maybe the 50 1.4) for the europe trip come June / July.

Good work Craig - #2 and #3 for me too. #1 is just a bit boring compositionally to work I think.

VR is something I miss, having no VR anymore :(

Great test shots, glad to hear that it is working well for you mate.
