Day 5- Garden Work!by JLCComment: Originally posted by routerguy666:
Are you shooting in manual mode? I am guessing so. The picture is not very sharp and the reason for that is likely the two and a half second shutter speed. You need that shutter speed because the aperture is at F18 so not much light is let in. Besides the obvious downside of a long exposure like that increasing the chance for camera movement, the picture quality itself will start to degrade on a digital camera like the 400D somewhere around F14 or F16 due to light fragementation - some technical thing which I don't remember exactly but Kirbic pontificated on in the forums.
Also if you have photoshop, run a very light smart sharpen over the shot after your final resize. I will usually do something like 50% strength, .03 radius, remove Gaussian Blur - that will tighten things up quite nicely for dpc size images.
Exposure is a bit on the dim side here. Maybe that's your intent.
Could also consider either cropping it so that post on the right is gone or rotating the image so said post is vertically aligned with the side of the frame, keeping the image from feeling/looking tilted. |

shelterby ordinaryangelComment: sweet image - a little bit surreal, but enough inside our reality to make it easy to relate to emotionally. Very Nice. |

1-Rooftopsby BudComment: I would gladly have stayed... however, we were visiting friends and my 7 and 5 year old were wrecking havoc in the hotel pool. So, my photo time was limited:) |
