Because every thing is so far away and the DOF is tremendous at that range plus the 1/3200 SS is pretty fast to kill camera movement. And it appears to be an extremely clear, calm day so very little haze or atmospheric disturbance to effect the image.


"disturbance to effect the image" "Affect" is the action, "Effect" is the result. You wording should have been "disturbance to affect the image".

With an APS-C camera, f/5.0, and focal length lens, focused at or beyond 422ft, everything beyond 422ft will be in focus.

Yesterday, I was near Boston to shoot a flyover of the RAF Red Arrows. Whist they were a half hour late I was taking a few shots just to check my settings. For the jets I chose ISO 500 1/3200 f5.0 with a polarizer. Nikon D7500 and Tamron 18-400. For this shot, 65mm. Hand Held. So this test shot of Harbor should not have been tack sharp. I used single point focus centered on the Custom House - clock tower. Yet the top of the crane in the distance is sharp, the boats in the harbor are tack sharp, and even the ripples in the water look pretty sharp. If you asked me to guess, I'd F20 or higher.

Why is everything so sharp?

Past f11 you'd start losing some to diffraction, so f20 wouldn't help as much as you think. A little googling can find a chart showing sharpness at different f stops for most lenses, too wide you start to get issues, stopped down too much you start to get issues.

Ah, here's a bit to keep in mind. Processing photographs is a lot like cooking. One adds just enough spice such that if it weren't there it'd be missed. However, it is not there overpowering the flavor of the food. A judicious amount of adjustment to an image really gets that image to be noticeable. As a spice, too much and that's all one will taste.

Although my Italian mother in law would argue you can't add to much garlic

Gee thanks.
Though I am a retired teacher, the older I get the less I care about correcting my typos in a casual setting. And this site is about as casual as it gets.
If I was crazy enough to go back to school for another degree then I would care, or in a formal letter/legal document.

Oh, did you understand what I was saying??? Nuf said.

The original image didn't appear to have a color space assigned. As soon as I assigned it sRGB (appropriate for images posted online), it really changed the image a lot. Some slightly lightening and a little warming filter seemed to help, too. Be sure to click through to the download. To me the preview still appears rather oddly colored. The full size images looks quite different.

sRGB, lightened a little and warmed slighlty

Good use of a reference to using spice in cooking. However I cannot comprehend some 'Cooks/Chefs' (on TV) will ad 6 or7 different spices to one dish / recipe. I'm sure many spices are completely overpowered in these show-off programmes.


I cook and often add many spices to a dish. Added in balance the add complexity and don’t overpower.

Personally, I'd be more concerned about the preponderance of a blue cast to the photo than the depth of field.

Well said. I small tweak of RGB would solve the problem.
