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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Well due to a number of enquiries I've picked two shots to post from my first weekend with my Nikon 80-200, 2.8 AF-D. There will definitely be more to come, but I've had a lot on so this two are some easy shots to post with almost no PP.


Some Charcoal. 112mm, f11, 1/60, ISO 800 ( :oops: )

And a Cute Boat. 200mm, 1/4000, ISO 200, f2.8(coz I can) :)

Aaah, so Craig, you did make the purchase. Welcome to the 80-200 club. Brilliant bit of glass. That boat looks pretty sharp. You will love that lens.

The boat looks great!
Any chance of cloning or cropping out the distracting white blob in the top left hand side?

Thanks eveyone :) I was literally packing my things to leave so was in a real rush to put something on the forum. I agree I should crop out the white blob (its another boat) but should I crop the image any further...

I kind of like to see the boat and a fair bit of open space. Look at the charcoal shot on my monitor at home.. yikes looks a bit dreadful.. I might have to rethink that one :)

More shots will be coming soon, but I've been sent to bed early, Doctors orders.

Craig, congrats on joining the 80-200 club. ;) I'm sure you'll immediately notice the difference compared to the 70-300.

I have, it's much heavier :) :lol: :lol:

But the image quality.. already has markably improved and I'm sure when I get used to it will be a drastic improvement..

You'll love the versatility of the 80-200. It's even sharp at 2.8 :)
