Na jaren niets meer met fotografie en luchtvaart gedaan te hebben nu de boel maar weer eens opgepakt. Sony A350 en Sigma APO 70-300. Hier de eerste resultaten.

1.) Original smaller:


2.) Photoshopped/edited


Just for example!

Ps. English here.

Personally I think the unedited photo has some better colors. Only the horizon should be leveled.



Grtz!

Like this?

This is how I should edit the photo. Always try to look for some buildings or poles which can (almost) never be unlevel.

Welkom terug

Heb je de foto bewerkt of komt hij direct uit de camera? Ik zou, behalve de horizon, belichting en contrast ook een tikkeltje USM toepassen omdat de grote foto mij net niet helemaal scherp lijkt. Hij kan net even dat tikkeltje USM gebruiken maar zeker niet te veel.

Thanks for your remarks, this picture is straight from the camera. Please explain USM to me, because it is all new to me.

Well i think he means IS... or in other words Image Stabilisation... This is a proces that can filter out some movement in the picture (this is done by the lens itself... Sigma lenses refer to OS or Optical Stabilisation)... Other words are als VR or SR... (used in Nikon or Pentax)...

USM means Ultra Sonic Motor... this is an improvement for a faster focus and mor ... USM has nothing to do with sharpness of your photo... (pentax has SDM Supersonic Drive Motor).

IS or USM can't be adapted to a picture using photo editing software... What you can do is trying to play with the settings a bit because this wil actually make your pictures better. (i will leave out the how-to-do-a-proper-photo-editing part here because this is already made clear in some photography topics).

I hope you make some out of this

Uhhmm, I don't think so, I think he means UnSharp Mask in Photoshop.


Grtz,

I'm using an old Sigma lens, maybe that will make the picture slightly unsharp.

[Key]

The originals, of which I transformed the first one into just a link as well (really too large for a forum), show there is nothing wrong with sharpness. You should be able to downsize to the 800px size without any additional sharpening necessary.

That would be UnSharp Mask, no doubt. There are tons of explanations on this feature in Photoshop if you look around in the Photography section or on Google.

Just take the time to familiarize yourself with all the possibilities of such software as Photoshop CS or Photoshop Elements or Lightroom 2 or 3. It will make a better looking image, not produce it cause you did that already by taking the picture
