That's a pretty scene. You will get much better sharpness if you don't stop down so far. When you use very tiny apertures (you used f/32) the lens does not perform so well due to various forms of diffraction. Optimum sharpness for that lens is probably at f/11 or f/16. |
Quote from comment on image:
Thanks for the insight on lens performance and small apetures, I understand realize what you are talking about now and maybe intuitively at the time because most of my other shots were at an apeture of F/22 or larger after this one and I changed my ISO back to 100. The rest of the shots just did not have the type of light that this one had.
The grain, (not sure if it is the lens or the camera)hindered my sharpening in photoshop. Using unsharp mask, when I would increase the amount past 150 or decrease the threashold below 5 or 6 I would get a snowstorm of white points all over the image, that is with a radious of .5.
which brings up another point, should a person sharpen again after resizing an image for the web, for posting here or entering challenges?
