Your First Shots of 2006 with KM Gear

[ratboy]

Is it? I did a two stops in-camera and a stop with picasa II. Probably the 17-35mm is abit too sharp. Will step down abit.. Other thing is that the Picasa II tends to oversharpen too much.


I have redone them in PS CS instead. How are the new pics?

I hope the new pics look better.

for the 2nd image
i actually prefer the over sharpened pic
the oversharpening gives it a very nice " snap "
but maybe my office monitor is too soft : )

Hi thanks to TME, Catseye and ratboy for your comments.

I can't really decide which one is the best for me. It seems that PICASA II did abit of oversharpened. But some images do look better when sharpened much which I agreed. Some may feel subjective. Anyway, thanks for all the comments. I will see what I can improve on the USM...

Taken handheld ...

Nice. But looks a little soft?

You are right ... wish I have a tripod! Sorry I did not do justice for this thread nor the KM5D
