Just picked up a G6 - Thought I'd post some pics

[PaulDB]

Hi all,

I'm new to these forums but I just bought a G6 and I thought I'd post some pics and introduce myself. I'm pretty new to photography but I think my first few snaps turned out ok.

Any tips / feedback would be appreciated. I'm trying to avoid Auto mode altogether so I actaully learn how to use the camera properly but I'm finding landscape shots difficult. I find they are over exposing. I will upload one to my site so you can see.

Nice pictures but they really could be sharpened a bit.

[PaulDB]

Yeah, I'm having trouble getting them really sharp. Not sure what im doing wrong. I could sharpen then in photshop easy enough but is there a way to get them sharper to begin with?

Also could the fact they have been resized so much affect how sharp they are? The original images are 3072x????

I couldn't get much sharper pictures from my G6 without photoshop :\
You can try using the custom setting on the camera and setting sharpness+ but it doesn't help much. USM in photoshop is the best way :\

God that takes some loading even on DSL :(

They all look a bit off on the exposure so more likely its the camera setting, have you check to see if the exposure setting has been altered on the camera?

[PaulDB]

The exposure setting is at default but maybe the default isnt that good. Im not sure which way I need to adjust it to improve this though...Anyone else here with a G6 managing to get really sharp pictures?

You could probably get sharper images in those shots if you used a tripod. Maybe your shutter speed might be too slow giving you a slight shake too. Other than that, all digital photos should get a touch of the unsharpen filter to crisp them up. The shot of the gray cat is a winner!

Thanks, I actaully went and got an 8x6 print of that cat pic today. Looks really good :)
