Are You Serious Jo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I can't remember looking at them and going geez these are all crap :laugh: I'm about to throw my bike in the bushes and have a massive childish tanty because it takes so long for my pc to do my stitching and my 50mm prime has done something funky and I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN I'M ANNOYED AND TECHNOLOGY MAKES IT WORSE!

kja Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yes, there is a separate sharpening slider in LR. I personally use an action I have made in photoshop for sharpening quite often as it just works for my needs and I don't have to think about it. I haven't played with the LR4 sharpening too much because in the early versions it was crap, but I have heard good things about it in the new versions - I'm just too lazy to learn something new .

tlc Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Do you find with an action that it always works for every photo? Is it easy to make an action? Is it like making a preset? I got my new lens today the Sigma 17-70, got it just before I went to work and got him just as the sun was going own. Managed to snap a few shots, they are reduced in size so don't look half as good as they do full size but Ill post them here, I feel they are pretty good focus wise but will see what you guys think. this ones a bit noisy I had the ISO up quite high as it was getting dark. Showing off for the camera. So far so good hopefully tomorrow will be a nice day and I can shoot something interesting after work, not sure what yet!

Are You Serious Jo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Focus looks ok on my screen and I just had a thought, you need to get a wind machine for your dogs for shoots, it would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlc Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 I love that sky! I like the sound of the 17-70 lens :) I can't wait to give it a better work out hopefully tomorrow, it has a funny sound in it when it focuses kind of like a bird chirping, :laugh: hope its not a dodgy one! Focus looks ok on my screen and I just had a thought, you need to get a wind machine for your dogs for shoots, it would be awesome! :laugh: its funny and I will have to see if I can find it, I took a picture of the four of them at the beach one day and it was soooo windy, there ears and faces were just ferrel, it was the funniest photo. Focus looks ok on my screen and I just had a thought, you need to get a wind machine for your dogs for shoots, it would be awesome! :laugh: couldn't you just see it. Work it baby, little supermodels. I think they already think they are supermodels, especially the girls, they see the camera and come running. :laugh: Cooper couldn't care less about the camera and Bronson just tells me off, I think thats what he is doing in the picture with his eyes shut!

Kirislin Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've found when I look through the siggy with the OS turned on I get a bit seasick. Has that happened to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 I haven't used it enough yet to notice, have you noticed a noise like a squeak, bird chirpy sort of noise when it focuses, it doesn't do it all the time only when it is trying really hard to focus on something that isn't really clear to it, if that makes sense. I think CC has the same lens too wonder if use has noticed it. It also does a quiet kind of chug chug noise when it is focusing but I think thats normal, I'm just having a bit of a read about it now. This is the second lens I have bought from OS and the first one never missed a beat (50mm 1,8 for the nikon) So hopefully this one will be as good. Pretty impressed with the delivery time too.

kja Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Neat sky! No, making actions in PS isn't nearly as easy as presets in LR. They can turn out to not be as adjustable, too. I don't use actions very often - just happen to have this one from a friend that I have to tweak...it doesn't work for every photo but it does have an adjustment layer in it so can be tweaked a bit when needed (pretty much every damn photo). I think there was free web sharpen one somewhere - maybe Totally Rad or hmm, what's that woman that lives on the ranch and blogs? Can't remember but I'll bet if you google you'll find a few.

tlc Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Ok I will check it out, thanks. I am loathed to post this next photo but I just put it on FB so I might as well put it here too, I thought it was a pretty good example of focus, I am finally starting to figure out the 7Ds focusing system. Any feedback from this shot appreciated. exif f/4 1/400 iso 100 edited to add, I set the shot up and put the camera on a post, I totally forgot Hugas tip to put the focus on Manual but it worked out ok anyway.

huga Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 You did well! Switching to manual is really only for selfies that you have to do over and over. Because your OH was already there, it makes it much easier :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Ok that makes sense, I did botch one up and the falls were so clear and we were just a blobby blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 This one isn't really about focus but it didn't really suit the other thread so Ill pop it here, just another one I liked from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Do these look like good examples of focus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) More practicing for me, one from this morning and some from after work this evening. I can tell with this one the focus is on his nose but I was still pretty happy with it. I think I am slowly figuring out the 7D and the focus issues I have been having.

tlc Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think this lot is all pretty clear considering they are all inside with no flash. Did you see the edit I did of your Sister and the doggy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
