Only got my DSLR last week. I'd like to ask some advise on one of the shots I made.
The picture below was meant to be a landscape kinda photo with action in it. As I had to hurry I closed the aperture fast to 29 (max I guess) to get it all sharp (Av setting) and hoped the Moorhen (looked that word up in the English dictionary) would also be sharp.
It didn't work out at all, everything is blurry. The white clouds in the sky were completely gone in the original RAW file. I used Photoshop to get it a bit sharper and to add some sky with the following settings:
crs:Exposure2012="+0.35"
crs:Contrast2012="+8"
crs:Highlights2012="-100"
Camera info and settings: Canon EOS 650D, Lens="EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II", Av setting 29, Shutter 1/40, ISO 500, focal length 29mm
My questions are of course what I should have done to get a sharper image? As I couldn't wait lowering the shutter speed was no option. I took the picture by hand maybe I moved the camera too much for the 1/40 shutter setting?
AF points
Thanks a lot for any advise given!
Best regards,
Marco
