[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Parker, you may be seeing an effect due to the large amount of small detail in a shot like Steve's sunset valley. A gazillion miniscule leaves and blossoms in the foliage. Combine that with a screen close-up and you can easily get detail overload.

I've shot that area we were in, and many others like it, quite a bit. I get a ton of shots that look heavy on the sharp side. It may be in-camera sharpening, but there may be something else. There is so much "information" (god, who thought we ever use that word with respect to a photograph) in that environment, especially now with the highly unusual spring bloom this year, that I have wondered if somehow the sensor doesn't overwhelmed. It would be like firing facts and figures at my 5 year old and watching her head spin. As you well know I'm no tech guy; just give me camera and let me shoot. So, I may be way off base here. But shots of "simple" subjects (IE close up portraits) don't seem to suffer the "information" overload. The first shot, with the housing development, has a lot going on.
