Sorry guys. My photos still in camera. Total over 4Gb RAW photos until I cannot directly DL from camera. Trying to use card reader to DL today. Was a very good outing and an rare chance to use the 500mm. After we split on my way back to the carpark, i got a couple of interesting shots of "X" spider and a bright red leaf insect. Try to get it out of my MD to post.

mmm… how do you fix up OOF?

 

[nickmak]

mmm… how do you fix up OOF?

It was actually not too OOF... It was slightly OOF and also the framing was not too right, so I just played with the photo in PS and that is the result... The sharpening was really troublesome...

1820mm? How, please clarify...

 

[hwchoy]

1820mm? How, please clarify...

500 + 2× TC + 1.4× TC + 1.3× FOV body ? ;p

No need to share secret, someone else had given me the advice. Look at sharpening techniques from luminous-landscape.com
