Hhepp Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'm still working on the raw class so I don't know how to do all the raw processing just yet but I'm also having focusing issues. I don't know if its actually me focusing poorly or some other setting I'm not doing properly. Can you help me yet or should I finish up the raw class first? I tried the noise removal link but I can't tell up from down on the noise yet (hoping I'll learn that better in the raw class ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhepp Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Sure. This doesn't have noise removed as I can't figure that out yet. I can tell it's not focused properly but I get a lot of images like this. I'm unsure if I'm just missing the focus and need more practice with that or if I have some other problem. Shot with Nikon d860, iso 64, 1/200, f/2. 135 mm nikon lens. Thank you for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Oh gee, it's really really close. You only missed it by a fraction. If you'd chosen an aperture a bit narrower than f/2, you would have been fine. f/2 was never going to work for a subject walking towards you.

Hhepp Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 It’s not terrible? I feel like it’s awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhepp Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 I don’t know why I asked that. You wouldn’t just say that. Maybe I just don’t know what decent focus looks like at a farther distance from the subject and I’m expecting eyelashes at this distance. Would this be worth editing or trash it? Should I see eyelashes at this distance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Sorry I wasn't clear. Yes, the focus is not good. You can't use this photo. But see how her sleeve fabric texture is perfectly focused? That's what I mean by "you just missed it". Your focal plane was very very close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an excellent question. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/08/what-you-see-when-you-pixel-peep.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
