100% cropped.

Whats wrong with the picture? If you are focusing on the first alphabet then it is quite sharp IMO.

not sure what you mean by "100% cropped". if this image is 100% of the actual size, then it's not sharp. if it's been heavily cropped and enlarged, then the sharpness is reasonable.

i cropped this part at 100%. my 100% is a 3076*2052 picture.. then i cropped that part out to see if it's sharp.
side track qns: does anyone know how to see where i focused? i think in some softwares(maybe the zoombrowser? i'm using canon) can allow me to see where i focused?


just to check.. some of my pictures are bit blurred!

Don't think there is a software that will tell you where you focused.Looking from the picture, your depth of field is shallow, but definately its in focused and sharp. But whether is it at the right place or not.. only you will know.

yes it is sharp enough. u focussed on the "T" and "P" area

will look sharper with sharpening

C1 Pro as in Phrase 1 C1 Pro digital back>? :bsmilie: ..... What camera? What f/stop do you use? How far are you away from the subject? But then your picture just have narrow depth of field. Don't think it is not sharp.

Looking at the Exif, he used a 300D, 75mm @ F2.8 1/400s.... that explains everything.

OT a bit
Just in case people are wondering how he got the exif,
you can use this IE/firefox plug in

Quick check. Do you know what Depth Of Field means i.e. DOF?

 

[drumma]

subject distance, focal length and aperture?

yes! using this sofware.

 

[Parchiao]

subject distance, focal length and aperture?

Something along that line. I can't comment on the shots that you got in Malaysia, but for the attached photo, try mounting your camera on a trippod and shoot with smaller apertures e.g. f8 onwards. Smaller apertures will provide you with more DOF, as such sharper images. I am just assum9ing that you are referring to the blurness on the background of the photo?

 

[drumma]

okie.. thanks!! i'm actually doing a test now like shooting at 28mm, 50mm and 75mm. at apertures of 2.8, 4.5, 8 and 11. is there a proper way to test a lens?

thanks for all the inputs!
