After a day in light, nature closes in and save up energy for a new day. it is the balance in the world, day and night, dark and light, yin and yang.
It is absolute and always there.

Hope you like it, any fav and feedback is very appreciated.

wow... amazingly sharp for f 1.8
what lens did you use?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sortvind In reply to SimplyMikey [2009-03-12 17:40:18 +0000 UTC]

50mm 1.8.
I sharpen my images in 3 steps, and remove grain in 2. All selective with masks.
i am picky

SimplyMikey In reply to Sortvind [2009-03-12 19:40:53 +0000 UTC]

you sure did a great job!
can you explain the steps? i would die for such sharpness in my images and i have the legendary lens with the 450D

Sortvind In reply to SimplyMikey [2009-03-12 19:56:52 +0000 UTC]

What lens do you use?
Guess there are many ways. First i remove grain, then i Sharpen in LAB mode, remove grain, resize about 1000 pixels down, sharpen, resize to web size, sharpen, remove grain if needed. All on layer masks so that the background stays out of focus.

SimplyMikey In reply to Sortvind [2009-03-19 09:42:04 +0000 UTC]

i have the kit lens and the canon 50mm f/1.8 but i usually use the kit, more flexible and sharper.

also, i use linux, and the Gimp image editing software.
