I have a handful of photos from an outing today, but I’m winding down and still have other things to get done tonight, so this is a quick one that’s been sitting in the blog folder. Stay with me, it gets much more exciting.<\/p>\n

Okay, no it doesn’t. But stay with me anyway.<\/p>\n
When I’m sorting through recent photos to see what to keep and what to discard, right before shifting them into appropriate categories, I usually look at the images at full resolution to see if the sharpness is adequate. Some months back I began using a Canon 7D, and the jump in resolution was noticeable (and don’t ask me what it actually is, because I don’t know – that’s not the kind of thing that I worry about.) With earlier bodies, I could still see most of the subject when I did this, just filling the monitor screen, but now I see just a small portion – and I’m even using a much bigger monitor now. [Note that this is still far from being those desktop rigs that you see where someone has three two-meter wide monitors spread across their desk – I only have one, and it has about a 50cm active display width, but this does mean that I have some room to move the various editing menus aside and see more of the photo that I’m working on.]<\/p>\n
There is probably a small degree that this resolution is detrimental, because I might reject an image as ‘not quite sharp enough’ when it has more than enough to print at a decent size – I’m just examining it too closely, and this especially holds true for images that will display full-frame, uncropped and not dependent on detail, like many scenics. However, maintaining sharpness even at high magnification, full resolution, means that I can<\/em> crop the image, significantly sometimes, and not suffer from pixelation or ‘grain’ issues.<\/p>\n And as I’m doing this close examination, every once in a while one jumps out at me, such as the great egret (Ardea alba<\/em>) above. That’s the entire frame up there, taken with the Tamron 150-600mm at 450mm while the bird was being cooperative;<\/strong> a lot of the images of the session lacked sharpness, suffering from inexact focus or motion blur, or both. But this one held up pretty<\/em> well when seen at full resolution, which is shown below.<\/p>\n I have a handful of photos from an outing today, but I’m winding down and still have other things to get done tonight, so this is a quick one that’s been sitting in the blog folder.
