Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I don't know what you mean. --Flicka 11:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Save it with a smaller resolution, I think. --Beyond silence 12:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New version

  •  Oppose I don't think it enough good too, sorry.--Beyond silence 19:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry, but this version is not sharp enough, either. A real pity, as at 30% view this image is amazing. Freedom to share 19:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I absolutely agree that the picture is not as sharp as I (and you) would like it to be. But can someone tell me what's my problem? The picture ist taken with f22, so at least one part of the picture should be in the right focus. It's taken with 1/60s, and I'm quite sure that I can take such pictures without trembling and shaking. The resolution of the Canon 400D is quite high, and the lens, though not original Canon or a high-end product, wasn't cheap and had good results in several tests. I've made a noise reduction, but that doesn't seem to be the biggest problem, if I compare the pictures above and the original picture. So can somebody tell me what to do? Does the lens need a check? Or what is the problem? I also have a Canon L lens, the 24-105 mm, and these pictures also look very soft. So maybe it's the camera? I'd be really thankful for your answers. --Flicka 16:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment This seems more like a focus problem than a problem with your lens or camera - the foreground appears perfectly sharp, after all. It is a bit odd though, since f/22 gives you a high degree of depth of field. Unless you somehow managed to focus at something even closer than the foreground, which would lead to the foreground becoming sharp but not the geysir. By the way, why did you feel the need to apply noise reduction on an image taken at ISO 200, a setting with very low noise on all digital SLRs? --Aqwis 18:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment After looking at the original version i can see that the foreground isn't as sharp as i thought. However, it's still possible that you somehow managed to focus at the closest distance possible - this could make the image unsharp especially when using close-focus lenses, even at f/22. --Aqwis 18:56, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that might be the reason. I will check it. Oh, and I decided to do a noise reduction because there were some dark parts of the picture that had to be lightened and then showed some noise. --Flicka 20:45, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
