shinksma Senior Member  710 posts Joined Jul 2011 More info | Sep 11, 2011 09:01 | #1 I captured this shot yesterday. A little blown out, but the result of that is I captured the pond and reflection better. And the slight bit of sharpening I did to the re-size made the rest of the photo better, but has created jaggies around the head.  C&C welcome. I will be trying to get better shots every time I got out, but I may not get the pond so still again. shinksma 5DII | T3i | EF 17-40 L | EF 24-105 L | EF 24 1.4 L II | EF 28 1.8 | EF 85 1.8 | EF 70-200 2.8 L IS II | EF 100-400 L | EF-S 15-85 IS USM | EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS USM | EF-S 10-22 USM | EF 100 2.8 Macro USM | EF-S 18-55 IS | EF 35-80 III | EF-S 55-250 IS | Rokinon 8mm FE | EF 75-300 non-USM III | SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 | Tamron 70-210 | 430EX II | Kenko 2x MC4 and 1.4x Pro300DGX TC

Sep 12, 2011 08:03 | #3 Thanks. I do welcome any tips or hints as to how to improve any of the shots I post: I'm interested in learning how to take better pics, and although proud of the shots I post here, I know they can always be improved upon, even if luck has to be utilized (e.g. I'm still trying to get a clean photo of the ManBearPig that Al Gore warned us about)... 5DII | T3i | EF 17-40 L | EF 24-105 L | EF 24 1.4 L II | EF 28 1.8 | EF 85 1.8 | EF 70-200 2.8 L IS II | EF 100-400 L | EF-S 15-85 IS USM | EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS USM | EF-S 10-22 USM | EF 100 2.8 Macro USM | EF-S 18-55 IS | EF 35-80 III | EF-S 55-250 IS | Rokinon 8mm FE | EF 75-300 non-USM III | SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 | Tamron 70-210 | 430EX II | Kenko 2x MC4 and 1.4x Pro300DGX TC

Sep 13, 2011 07:26 | #5 Edit: I had attached a resized not-sharpened image, but upon closer inspection of the source image, I suspect Something Went Wrong in my post-processing - there seems to be over-sharpening edge-enhancement on the original, which bleeds through to the re-size. I need to look at this better when I get a chance - not right now, since I am somewhere that rhymes with "Turk". 5DII | T3i | EF 17-40 L | EF 24-105 L | EF 24 1.4 L II | EF 28 1.8 | EF 85 1.8 | EF 70-200 2.8 L IS II | EF 100-400 L | EF-S 15-85 IS USM | EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS USM | EF-S 10-22 USM | EF 100 2.8 Macro USM | EF-S 18-55 IS | EF 35-80 III | EF-S 55-250 IS | Rokinon 8mm FE | EF 75-300 non-USM III | SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 | Tamron 70-210 | 430EX II | Kenko 2x MC4 and 1.4x Pro300DGX TC

Sep 13, 2011 21:48 | #6 OK, found some time tonight. This is after re-processing the RAW file. Looks like the sharpness setting had been set to "kill" when I exported originally. This with sharpness set to zero on export to jpg, in comparison. I did sharpen a bit after resizing to 1024.  Softer, but not as harsh. I suspect I will look back at this in a year and say "why did I post such a lousy shot? - it's way too soft and blown out". shinksma 5DII | T3i | EF 17-40 L | EF 24-105 L | EF 24 1.4 L II | EF 28 1.8 | EF 85 1.8 | EF 70-200 2.8 L IS II | EF 100-400 L | EF-S 15-85 IS USM | EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS USM | EF-S 10-22 USM | EF 100 2.8 Macro USM | EF-S 18-55 IS | EF 35-80 III | EF-S 55-250 IS | Rokinon 8mm FE | EF 75-300 non-USM III | SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 | Tamron 70-210 | 430EX II | Kenko 2x MC4 and 1.4x Pro300DGX TC
