Hey Aaron, did you see Jacob?

 

Looks like your already putting it to good use! What full frame body are you thinking about getting? A Second hand 5d3 is pretty cheap these days!

 

Thanks man! Probably 5D2, used 5D3 is still a little pricey for me.

However since a 6D is only $1400 new I may even check that out.

 

Jacob?

 

From today's outing. Can't wait for spring.

Here are a few pictures I've taken


















I feel like the last one could have come out sharper/more crisp. I'm not too sure if those are the correct words. Any input?

 

Assuming using a DSLR? If so, they have multiple focus points and usually are set to choose a couple at one time which can cause the autofocus to act like its finding a needle in a haystack and the image won't come out as sharp. Try using single point AF that way the camera works less and can focus faster. Plus you'll have super sharp focus on that point.

Article on the single point AF method http://digital-photography-school.com/focusing-quick-tip-single-point-af-methods/

Depth of field is the other possible factor. Let's say using a 50mm f/1.8 for example, at wide open (f/1.8) if you or the dog move even slightly it comes off focus a bit. Depending if you more away from the subject or towards it the focus point can come more towards you or further back from original point. The article above touches on it at the top using the 50 f1/4 prime as an example.

Also, AI Servo mode tracks a specific focus point so if your subject or you are moving... Boom sharp image.

 

I saw that. I decided to go fishing on the jetty yesterday when it was hugeeee! Sketchy but fun, ended up getting kicked off by the lifeguards. It was extreme fishing! hahah Great shots by the way

 

What's your Exif data, or camera settings?

I was hoping one of the guys over on FM would post up some of his work. He shoots with a housing and from the water. Some really great stuff.

Love seeing shots from the Wedge.
