u had phrase it in a nicer way..hehe

yes,i get what u mean. it depends on what indiviual wants to achieve in an image...example we can shoot a car moving in stationary mode to show the driver in more details or panning mode to increase the background blur and wheel spin effect. i was trying to say that, if nothing in an image is...

you are very right..that's why i usually check for an image sharpness and exposure first before i decide to keep or bin it. but the most common mistake is that an image is already sharp but tend to over-sharpened.

I got to agree with u. sometimes imperfections can make an image look unique from the rest. but then again sharpness,composition and exposure are terms that can't be left out in photography imo.

Thanks all who commented on my photos on other thread.I shall do a general reply. I understand that some of u mentioned about sharpness is not everything and some motion blur makes it more "real". I understand what u meant..but the thread was just simply about the level of acceptable sharpness.I...

Hi David,iam curious if your were referring to photos in my thread? Thanks.

Having a fast lens does not means u must shoot wide open,it is there when u need it at times imo. most lenses sweet spot are usually a few stop down. even though the 70-200mm II is already sharp wide open,it is even sharper when stopping down. afterall it is what the photographer wants to...

Personally depend on what iam shooting and the lighting too.

Thanks Rob for clarifying.. it was what my thoughts are.

Can i tap on this thread to consult a question? I noticed that the photos i shot(RAW) when viewed from my camera at 100% crop is always sharper than the original RAW photos when import into my PC. is it the way the RAW file is supposed to be for room to do adjustments? Thanks.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Iam from Singapore :)

probably sometimes the metering system is not the result i wanted...haha

that seems to be a cool features found in Nikon. anyway,sometimes i use manual focus if i want certain small part of the image to be sharp only because the AF is not 100% accurate at all times. and even the metering system is not always 100% accurate.
