Nice action but the player's face looks soft. On the top photo his left hand appears sharper than his face.

Why does the aperture read f0.7 in the exif?


It's a good day if I'm looking down at the grass and not up at the roots.

Shows f2 for me.

You need to very very precise with your focus when shooting that wide. Your DOF is very thin and I have to agree that the face looks a bit soft.

I'm reading it with the firefox plugin and I did a print screen. Maybe my plugin is showing signs of wear:confused:.

Yes, I should be sharpened. You might want to mask it and selective sharpen certain areas. One last thing, if you were not using center point focus you might consider doing so when you are shooting with such a narrow DOF. Prevents that flying arm from causing a change in focus.

I think I need to update my Exif viewer then.


Did you use AI servo or one shot to focus?

My Opera exif says 2.

Nice action, but I agree with everyone else's comments.
