Picture of the Day

Another good method is to use a filter under sharpen called unsharp mask in photoshop. This is the method I use to sharpen my pictures (when need be).

Smart Sharpen replaced Unsharp Mask in Photoshop CS2 as the best sharpening method. It is more advanced and does a better job. Try 50-100%, .2-.5, Lens Blur, More Accurate. Adjust between those numbers depending on photo size. Really large pics will need closer to 200%.

I've got Nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens so that's not the one I'd expect photos of not being sharp, while it still does make them unsharp. Maybe issue with my hands or what, I got to finally try some shooting with tripod. But then the earth's movement could be an issue.
But I see it only while viewing on 100% and almost always I resize the pics so it's almost impossible to tell, it just annoys me.

The 50mm 1.8 is not sharp at f/1.8. I'm not sure what aperture you are using most of the time but it doesn't get really sharp until you are around f/2.8 I think...I don't have this lens personally so I'm just going off what I've read. It could also be focus accuracy?

I like this picture. It has a vintage feel to it. Only thing I would have done is keep the cord on the right from touching the edge of the frame, but that's nitpicking.
