A few from the Micromeet - Part 1

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Thanx Matt...I so enjoyed today!!
This is the first time I've REALLY given the 70-200VR a good go. None of these have been sharpened out of the camera. Show us yours mate!

Great work Geoff, top shots here. You've added more fuel to the fire that is my lens lust, although I may have to solider on with the 70-300G a bit longer.
((And this are straight from the camera, :shock: :shock: )) Cool!

My favs are 1, 4, 5, 6. I loved the patterned roof and took a few shots of it while up on the bridge, but I think I prefer you take on it :)

minimeet images

Postby rookie2 on Sat Nov 12, 2005 12:12 am

As a newbie to the area I was just wondering how often, to what level (ie setting) and why you use the in camera sharpening. I presume this is what you refere to in your comment. sorry if this naive.

do you have the data for the fourth shot - I love it..intriguing!

thanks for posting

Rookie - thanks for your comments.
What I meant was that I didn't enhance the shot in photoshop to sharpen these images. No in camera sharpening either...just a nice lens (I used primarily the 50mm 1.4 and the 70-200VR 2.8 today).

The EXIF data from shot 4 in this series was:

Focal Length 70mm
Aperture Priority
F2.8 1/4000th sec
ISO 250

thanks Geof
I love these even more realising that they come straight from the camera - the sharpness is what grabs me.
can you post one or two taken with the 50mm 1.4. I have it and would like to try out some shots to compare.
nothing comensates for experience but at least I have a good measuring stick.
thanks again.

That moon looks great! And I know you had a max of 200mm of reach, so it must have been a pretty tight crop - and still looks sharp!

I took one of the opera house and the moon in 1 frame, it was barely a 10 pixel speck. ;)

Some great varied shots Geoff... It's really nice to see something other than portraits from you :-)

I can't believe that no sharpening was applied for some of those...
Cheers, John
