Oppose Unsharp. inisheer (talk) 16:36, 6 December 2009 (UTC)- Oppose As Inisheer. Jacopo Werther (talk) 20:10, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Its totally unprocessed (except for crop) so I could sharpen. It adds some contrast to the texture of the eye and also some noise. But Im not used to seeing them like that so I dont fancy it. --Korall (talk) 21:30, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- It is not a matter of post-processing, it is a matter of not shooting an insect at 1/40 second. Artificial sharpening only destroys details. inisheer (talk) 11:11, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
- If the insect or the camera was resting on something less sturdy I woudnt have tried 1/40. If I cant shoot att f16 I dont know how to get sufficient DOF for a portrait to be interesting to look at. Here is a f/11 1/125s try. I prefer the f/32 try to that. I just think there is too little in focus there to be interesting to look at when under f/11, and the shadows too hard in full sunshine. At the moment I didnt have an external flash and I dont think the built-in flash would have helped much. I am very open for any suggestions of how to improve in the future. Please let me know. It might also be the cheap closeup-lens I used in front of the macro lens that ruins it. --Korall (talk) 11:59, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
