[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 146058, member: 9237"] That last photo looks wicked sharp, possibly too sharp. That's probably due to the flash. It really separated the cactus (cati??) from the background in a weird way to my eyes. Remember, when shooting JPG, your camera will adjust things like saturation, sharpness etc all within the camera. When you post process a JPG that's already been dealt with in camera, you're going to add to what's already been done. (to an already lossy file to begin with) I think that flash is making things crazy. Try using a longer exposure with a tripod if you can't get the shutter speed to a decent level to handhold it. I'd also focus on the darker parts of the cactus and spot meter to see if that would bring out some more of the shadowy details too. It's all in experimenting. Since we can't see the actual light it's being taken in it's a little harder :) [/QUOTE]
