Sure enough, the forum software has resized. Now that's a detailed picture, so was the 800px version that was properly resized by Photoshop better?

I think it is, just.

So, why do some posts distort the forum left to right when huge images are posted?

I wonder what the effect is, so 800px:

And 1000px:

It's fine here, and the event is always worth attending.

Ha, I don't think so Chris. I'm not a collector, I'm a photographer and use my cameras for shooting images.

As for AF adjustment, you can be sure that if and when needed it will be done.

Mind you, a different coloured camera for every day of the week...hmm, interesting concept....

Sharpening is best done in Photoshop (or a similar program) but a small amount in the camera is OK, I would suggest +1.

You can't, the forum software has limitations.

If you want to explore sharpening, which is a huge subject, then I can recommend Martin Evening's books on Photoshop. There are lots of different approaches depending on subject and image size.

You are a PU Plus member, so you also have access to my two short articles on sharpening.

It is a new type of spammer Doug, now removed. There have been quite a few of them in the last couple of months.

The advice is aimed at someone doing this for the first time. It would be wise to Keep It Simple and get it right.

Plenty of time later, after some practice, to broaden the repertoire.

I would urge the photographer to forget about trying out different lenses, there will be quite enough going on. Just like a wedding, the subjects will be distracted and eager to get on with things. There will be little time to mess, just get on with it and give them what they expect - nice flattering pictures quickly and without fuss.

It's all about the customers' expectations and the real trick is in guiding and controlling the shoot as much as we can in very limited circumstances.

Please don't post pictures that you don't have the rights to - links are the way to go. Post removed accordingly.
