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.

Had a great day out, and I thought I'd post a few shots and link to the gallery with a few more. Thanks again for Peter for organising and co-ordinating the day and also for lending me the beast (28-70) and Leigh the manual pancake (was fun).

Please check out the gallery.

Nikkor 45mm f/2.8.

Out of production, a past gem, 2 or three elements only, giving it a very flat appearance, hence its name.

Leigh will bring his tonight for you to look at.

Craig

#1 and #3 are superb. Leigh even has a natural expression for a change instead of his"photo" look :wink:

You've put together a great sample of the day's outing here Craig.

#2 - I had a great laugh at this one :D

#3 - a natural portrait of Leigh. The harsh light works well in this shot.

#4 - The 28-70 attempts macro :) - it actually worked! I'll post the result once I've processed it

edit: I reckon give this one a bit of straighten and you've got a winner: http://snaps.coffeeloungegallery.com/main.php?g2_itemId=16727
