Quick walk with 50mm 1.8.....

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.

...... Just goes to show that there are other things here to shoot other than Birds...... a quick shoot to test the 50mm 1.8 before I used it on a corporate shoot.....

Both of these were shot at Bateman's Bay very early this morning

Thanks Steve.......

I am just PP the corporate shoot that was shot with this lens....... I applied a little unsharp mask, and the images were so sharp they made all the other shots with my 80-200 2.8, look a tad ordinary, but these were very good also...... so no unsharp mask, and they still are very sharp..... I will do some shots over the weekend with said lens, as I cannot post the shots taken today

I have a feeling I have found a new walkabout lens...... very sharp, and very fast......

Remember to walkabout with it on Saturday for Timesnap #2 at noon.

Nice pics Bernie, it is also a good lens for birds but you have to really sneak up on them :wink: :wink:

Bernie - great shots. BTW: Mogo Zoo (Private) is north of Bateman's Bay. I am sure you will find some birds in there, otherwise catch up with my best friend's the 'BIG CATS' :)

Bernie - I would be very interested to get an idea from somebody in the know, regarding quality of animals, mainly 'BIG CATS' as I am contemplating a driving holiday there in the April/May next year. Whatever you can find out I would be very appreciative of.

I have to admit that my 50mm 1.4 Ais spends more time on my camera these days than any other lens :)
