Hi All, greetings from my garden now .... some little sunlight today! SIGMA SD14 / 80-400mm EX OS (@400mm) Both pictures crops! See you with nice pictures Klaus
These photos are very good and look exceptionally sharp. Nicely done! Is there any post-production work or is it the lens by itself that gives you this result? I have the same camera and two sigma lens (18-50 f2.8 EX DC Macro, 150-500 f5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM) and never get this kind of sharpness. Best regards!
jeff tchaderjian....I am going to make two assumptions...please forgive me if I infer-wrong... 1st Assumption - you are probably using a UV filter on the lens... 2nd Assumption - you are not using a mono-pod for the shots... And just a side note...a Polorizer on a very sunny day is a must... Ok put your 150-500 on a monopod when you shoot...to help you balance out better....second...take the UV filter off...I have found that they are great in protecting your lens...but soften-up the image when used... Use SPP and shoot in x3f format...when you import the image into SPP you can sharpen it there...and play with the balances...then export the image as a JPG then bring it into Lightroom/PS/or NX2...for further manipulation...if it is needed... Hope this helps out a little.... Tony C.
