Having returned to my home town a few months ago I've started to attend a local camera club which still meets during the summer months. After the last meeting a couple of weeks ago I mentioned to one of the committee members that I was struggling with sharpening my shots and would quite like a session on that subject if anyone there could help. One or two others joined in for a few minutes and I left thinking no more about it. Until, that is, last week I received an email from said committee man saying that as it seems I know more about sharpening than anyone else in the club, would I be prepared to give a demonstration of how I do it. Time to panic
So, here's a shot I took on Sunday evening at a free concert by Suspiciously Elvis down by the local river - straight conversion from raw to JPEG:
I then applied Snaarman's recommended settings for preparing images for printing (thanks Pete, I'd have got nowhere without your help) and got this:
Can't be sure yet how it looks here, but on my PC it seemed rather noisy so I then ran it through Noiseware and was really pleased with the result:
The difference between the first and last is substantial, and I'm starting to think I'm finally getting somewhere, but any comments or advice will be most gratefully received.
