Failures - Hunter At Work

[Sean DeMerchant]

This shot, while well composed, is a failure (not sharp enough for a print larger than 4x6 in (10x15 cm) due to its macro nature and the requisite viewing distance of very close to the shot.

The problem with this shot is not focus, but the camera operator letting the camera shake during exposure.

Look at the eyes on that monster! Incredible picture if you ask me, shaken or not.

LOL, shame on the camera operator then ;-)

Thanks Cem.

The problem is just shake, the whole frame is soft:

So this shot will just not print well at a larger size at a macro viewing distance (leaving nose prints on the the print).

enjoy your day,

Hi sean
Strange guys!

What would you think about a little motion unblur (200 / 8pix /30°) maybe a little overdone, but brings some details back…

Hi sean
Strange guys!

Crab spiders are fun to watch as they do not use webs to capture prey, but instead grab and inject venom into unwary prey that lands where they lie in wait.

I tried some alternate settings (29% / ~2px /~-80°) or close to that and it looks okay and is probably printable.

No need for that. We all have different tastes and I dislike using any administrative powers unless necessary (the more power I have, the less I wish to exercise it).

thanks,
