I've been playing with my photo setup, I think I may just be at the limit of what my cameras can do. I just cant seem to get anything as clear as some I see posted here.
First pic was taken with my wife's little Canon SD 780 IS at 12 mega pixels. It wont go completely manual, and wont save TIFF files - JPEG only. The only post processing is cropping. Zoomed out so no re-sizing was needed. I think the camera is doing some internal image processing that I cant turn off.
The second 2 pics are the same, but the first was Unsharped to a lesser degree. This was taken with my old Nikon coolpix 4300 (4 mega pixel), with just enough zoom applied that I did not have to re-size after cropping. This was totally manual and saved to a tiff with no in camera image processing. All I did was crop and apply 2 different levels of unsharp mask.
So, what do you think looks best?
Not sure what else I can try for improvement, but open to suggestions. I used GIMP for editing.
Thanks for any feedback
