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.

Nice photo!
That's what could be called a full flaps extended landing
I wonder if the Ibis was coming in a bit too fast? :shock:

Thanks Bago,

He or she wen't fine.
I looked as if the bird was struggling, however the bird knew exactly
what it was doing.
I am quite pleased about the picture.
I'm using a Sigma APO II 70-300 lens and it is too slow
for catching birds in flight.

Christiand

I've had a little play with the APO lens today

I'd say it is a little slow, but using manual focus, you could probably nail a good photo now and again. You did well.

I'm going to set up my fathers old tripod tomorrow and have a play. Should be fun!

Have to paint the garage ceiling first though :cry:

what next ...

Postby christiand on Thu Dec 30, 2004 10:11 pm

Birddog114,

I love the way you are continuing to be of great service.
I am still contemplating about the VR and TC ...
You would have won me over in no second if it wasn't
for me still not being prepared to surrender.
The time might come but it isn't right now; it may be right then.

Best regards
Christian
