The lens used was not one of the best offerings from Canon, a 28-135 zoom, and used very nearly wide open (f6.3) so it's really a borderline shot. But, that said, I was in fact quite pleased with the shot of the bird picking insects out of the vine. I have about 4 different noise reduction processes on my PC , so I'll see which works best, some of the effect may even be from sharpening without having applied any NR - we shall see tomorrow. regards from Hannover Douglas Rei Shinozuka wrote: >the first photo is especially nice. one of the first things that >caught my eye, however, was the odd texture noticable in the out of >focus areas. it is like placing a sheet of frosted glass over the print, >or perhaps a bit of film reticulation. > >is it just 800 ASA digital schmutz from the camera? > > >-rei > >On Apr23 19:02, Douglas Sharp wrote: >.. > > >>http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/MG_3785_edited_1 >>Feeding on a Russian Vine >>http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/MG_3781_edited_1 Just >>sitting there (Damn that twig obscuring his beak) >> >>Technical stuff Canon 20D, 135mm, ISO equivalent 800 >>Cheers >>Douglas >> >> >.... > > >
