It beats the commercial option - that moves the camera in much the same way I move the subject but costs in excess of $400.<br /><br />He he.

I use IrfanView for the conversion and I see it has the facility for sharpening and other tweaks in its batch facility.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-65121888954230185352011-01-21T09:41:53.248+00:002011-01-21T09:41:53.248+00:00Thank you Wilma.

I can tell you have enjoyed thinking of the possibilities, and then putting it all together with remarkable results.

Watch you don't sharpen any noise. If you denoise in the Raw converter watch very closely as that really softens images. It is still very impressive.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-24151396596799910872011-01-21T02:16:35.854+00:002011-01-21T02:16:35.854+00:00Super, John!

That will have dented things a little.<br />Must try RAW as CombineZP should work better with that - I wonder how much slower the processing will be then!<br />The lens is set to f2.8 - maybe try f4<br />Also position / direction of lighting can make a difference.<br />Lots to experiment with.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-10689215146545362252011-01-20T16:38:19.170+00:002011-01-20T16:38:19.170+00:00John, this is a superb result.

Should be for all your effort. <br />It would maybe stand sharpening a touch but that softness is inherent with digital and nothing to do with your apparatus.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
