The Vulcan Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Good shot but very "noisy" eh? Maybe a tadge oversharpened as well? Like the way the baby is peeking underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svenivan Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 In my opinion it is zoomed in too much alt cropped too much. I don´t get the feeling they are sitting in aboat on the water, its like the boat is hanging over the water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSnake Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Grandmother for sure, no focus on background, not a clear shot of the child, timing was a bit off with the movement of grandmother arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeincnx Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Grandmother for sure, no focus on background, not a clear shot of the child, timing was a bit off with the movement of grandmother arms. Aimed to not have the background in focus (go for the bokeh with 24mm @f/4). You are right on the timing as I unfortunatley was set for single shot. I was in a moving boat too so there is some noise going on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeincnx Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 What is noisy? backgroung out of focus? Just curious Noise was present as I was moving as well in another boat. Regarding the background, I wanted it out of focus (bokeh was hit at 24mm f/4 in this case). Bokeh is different from sharpness. Sharpness is what happens at the point of best focus. Bokeh is what happens away from the point of best focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeincnx Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Good shot but very "noisy" eh?Maybe a tadge oversharpened as well? Like the way the baby is peeking underneath Noisy for sure as I was moving as well in another boat. I'll give another try with the ol' unsharp filter. Thanks.

Like the way the baby is peeking underneath Completely eliminated the unsharp filter in this version. There's still some noise (woman's cheek or does she just have incredibly large pores?. Somewhat better, you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Still too noisy. It's basically under exposed by about 2/3rds of a stop. This in itself will induce noise in the darker areas. Movement (as in another boat) has no relevance to noise. I ALWAYS over expose by 1/3rd of a stop, address the exposure in (say) Photoshop and the noise dissapears. Have a look at this link for an explanation - http://www.guillermoluijk.com/article/nonoise/index_en.htm Still a tadge over sharpened - I set my sharpening to zero in the camera, and use PK Sharpener for the finished product. Brilliant peice of software when you use it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I don't think noise comes from motion, unless your camera compensates with a higher iso to increase shutter speed. The noise is still heavy in the second image. I like the separation from the background. I like the kid peeking out under grandma's arm. I like the sense of action and I like the crop and the exposure. I would put in on the wall. It is a real Thai scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
