Sharpness Test

Is your photo "sharp", not too sure ?

Post an example here - the ONLY thing assessed is sharpness at the focus point

**Miaow** · 02-03-2010, 6:10pm

Hmm here goes

No editing on this one

PS moved this to pp help as you were asking for people to post pics which isnt' really suited to F-stop

**kiwi** · 02-03-2010, 6:13pm

nope, not sharp

**Miaow** · 02-03-2010, 6:25pm

How are you judging the sharpness btw Darren?

BTW i thought for a 5mm creature that not bad round the head

**kiwi** · 02-03-2010, 6:28pm

did you tell me you focussed on the head ? even so, its not critically sharp imho

I can only assess the image in totality

**yummymummy** · 02-03-2010, 6:30pm

hmm, looks to me, IMO that the focus point was the rock under the beetle?

**Miaow** · 02-03-2010, 6:35pm

Well i thought I had it on the head but he was moving lol - i only use single point AF so its around the head somewhere lol

Looks sharp enough, could be sharper

**landteacher** · 02-03-2010, 7:10pm

Again, slightly sharpened this time.

ok one more - no editing

cant get the exact focal point with zoom browser for some reason using the tammy 90

**kiwi** · 02-03-2010, 7:25pm

very soft

**Miaow** · 02-03-2010, 7:42pm

ah well lol

**Jeremy** · 02-03-2010, 8:34pm

Your critique - please.

**Bax** · 02-03-2010, 8:47pm

As a razor!

**Jeremy** · 02-03-2010, 9:06pm

Many thanks. This was an experiment in using a fast lens. Controlling the DOF is more finicky than I thought!

Just to make it easier for your eyes Darren --- image zoomed to 100% and then cropped to the screen borders

Taken with one of those "old" D200's and a cheap 3rd party lens.

How about this Marlo chook, is it sharp?

**Jeremy** · 02-03-2010, 10:08pm

Top one (crop) is brilliant focus- no problem. Skin texture and colour show up so well - terrific.

Answer: Of course it is sharp - wonderfully sharp - I like sharp. But can't gauge the sharpness of the eye.
