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.

Last weekend, I saw a tourist group from China in Wan Chai, a member of the group passed her camera to this guy. This man looks professional on DSLR but not on compact camera. Then he sit down and almost cried. Any body can help him?

Hard to beat! coz it's Canon body! and the guy has a Canon DSLR hanging around his neck too! Surprised me, it's harder to operate another Canon body while you're a Canonian :shock:

Not with Nikon, all the are similar, took 2 seconds to know what they are and for?

That is Canon Powershot, actually not complicated. But he took long time to study it.

Sometimes simple things can beat you, though you are professional.

 LOL. Expression says it all.

I found the transition from Nikon P&S to Nikon dSLR relatively painless.

hehe but the step back is hard..

I have had plenty of people pass me thier P&S first thing I do is look for the viewfinder...

then when I have it all composed I press the shutter and almost always miss the shot by pulling the camera down before it fires... damn slow shutters!

Poor Guy!

Might have been easier to borrow the CF card and use his own camera... Poor guy.

Must have been the straw that broke the camels back. Very funny expression. Great capture.

Haha nice one Mr Poon, really captures the emotion of the moment well! I think Gladys had a similar moment last weekend switching from my Nan's Nikon Coolpix S1 to my D70 + 17-55 DX + SB800 + LS2, bit of a weight difference. :lol:
