Nikkor 70-200VR - lens lust is getting to me now

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.

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.

I met up with Christian on Saturday - Nice to finally put a face to the PM's...

There was a small air display on for the open day and Christian was nice enough to add to my lens lust by letting me use his Nikkor 70-200VR (by the way Christian, Chris said to say thanks :lol: for that but after he saw this photo is now happy for me to get one :D )

So enough chat heres my 1st use of a Nikkor 70-200VR!

Cheers REE :shock:

Ree,

The plane on the RH side, in the front of the formation, is a little bit too far to the right. :)

Seriously, a great shot, and a difficult one to nail because of the exposure (backlighting) issues that would be faced.

Well done.

Now you just need to deal with the lens lust. :)

Nice shot Ree.
I know what you mean about the lust. I used one from JordanP for about 50 shots and now I have one on order. :D

Ooooh, vivid color, looks sharp as a tack... That 70-200 sure looks yummy... Zooms don't come much better that that one...

Sounds like a dealer, lets you try it just a little to get you hooked :lol:
