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.

Taken today at the beautiful home of Mr & Mrs Birddog.

The first photo was taken with the D2x with the 70-200mm Sigma at 165mm 1/500th sec @ f/4 iso 200

The second pic shows Birddog, Leek and Glen with a table of goodies. D70 - Sigma 12-24mm @ 12mm 1/45th sec @ f/13 iso 200

Image

The last pic is a toy bee in a pot plant. Shot with the D70 and Sigma 70-200 + 2x teleconverter at 400mm flash in iTTBL mode 1/180th sec at f/16 iso 200.

Hi Chris,

Can you add some full-size crops of the photos to better illustrate the quality of the D2x???
Cheers, John

John - I will try and get something up tomorrow. The one thing I forgot to say about the D2x files. As most people will know they are around the 70Mb mark. You really do need the latest computer with lots of RAM to go with this camera.

Looks like you guys had loads of fun today. I wish we were there but instead we were moving out of our place and into my parents place for a year...all in the effort to save like crazy (so no serious lens lust for me for a while)...I am happy to report though I am now on a wireless lan it's it's working PERFECTLY, the only problem is that the software that tells me about the wireless connection is all in German...hahaha..all I know is that I have a green light and it's working :)

You guys would have had fun playing with all those toys.

I'd be very interested to see some crops of the full size images from the D2X, I've seen a few that have been absolutely amazing for detail... Hmmm, maybe better not look after all, body lust is the last thing I wanna feel :lol:

Funny though Scotty - no one knows where the hell it is!?! As soon as you say 'near Frenchs Forest' they're like 'ahhh yep'. Why is it so?

Chris, the second and third looks to be lacking in colour IMHO. Like something's amiss or "off".

Mudder, to be honest full sized images from the D2X looks a little soft with the same sharpening settings in Capture as the D70. Takes a little after the competition's renouned creamy smooth-ness.
