Mary Burgy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I thought these were sharp but then I posted them to facebook and am not sure....They aren't as "crisp" as my normal. If not, did I do something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Razor sharp, don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Burgy Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Well that makes me feel better. I guess I am just use to seeing "studio" sharp and it isn't quite the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What lens do you use in the studio? A prime or a zoom? Traditionally, prime lenses are always a tad sharper than zooms. Also, you are dealing with natural light, which is pretty even in this photo as there isn't a huge contrast swing to help define things. I agree with Damien, this photo is fine.

Mary Burgy Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I use my 24-70 in studio. I think my SS needed to be higher. The 70-200 is a heavy lens and I shake. I shot these all at 1/400 and felt something was slightly off. I practiced the next day at 1/500 and felt they were better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also found that going twice the shutter speed is better with digital. So if you are at 200mm, your SS should be 1/500 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Burgy Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 I do have one but am not good/fast with the up and down of it so only use it when I know I am not moving much. I may need to look into a different one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 This is what I have:https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/660321-REG/Manfrotto_496RC2_496RC2_Compact_Ball_Head.html What I do is leave the Ball Head slightly loose, meaning you want some resistance but not too much and you don't want things to flop over. I call this "Freestyle Method." You can move in all sorts of directions while mounted on a monopod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Burgy Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 What base do you use it with. That’s the part that gave me issues. Mine had a weird twist method of extending and it wasn’t fast enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
