JL,

I think R.G. summed it up quite well - excellent advice and help. Not a whole lot to add, so take heed.

Best Regards,
Tom


Thank you, Tom. I do appreciate what help and suggestions that come my way.

Not really you. You can blame the subdued light demanding a slow shutter speed. So you can blame mother nature or camera design (limitrd iso).


Thank you for this. But I really did need the tripod on this one.

Here is the smallest bit of help, to what one could call impossible.

Oops, "attach file" did not work.


I had one that sort of looked like this, but with more of a white haze over it. Don't know what I did, but it was definitely not the correct thing to do!

I definitely need help with this one. Yes, I know it is blurry. Fawns don't seem to want to stand that still at times and this was was definitely wanting to play this morning.

Yes, I should have used the 5500, didn't have it with me. 20 lashes with a wet noodle.

So, I tried cleaning it up, looked worse.

What, if anything, can I do?

Thank you everyone and have a beautiful day.

JL

Here is my attempt to improve this a little. It is hopelessly out of focus but I tried to separate the deer a little from the background thru use of ACR.

I just clicked on auto white balance for this look.

Interesting. Almost like there is a spot light on the fawn.

It does look a bit sharper.

So much to learn.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Off to try some more.

Yes, I know that. Why I need the tripod next time.


The tripod will not help if the shutter speed is slow and the animal moves. Were you in auto mode? The shutter speed shows 1/30 sec but ISO was only 180.

One suggestion: if you think you might encounter wildlife, use shutter priority. Set the shutter speed to something like 1/200 and the ISO to auto. Do this ahead of time so you'll be ready.

I can never resist an opportunity to take a crack in post processing so I did. I ran it through some basic lightroom adjustment warmed up the white balance added clarity vibrance sharpening and some contrast.. then took it over to PS and tried a camera shake filter (didn't really help)... and a few curves adjustments to work on contrast on the fawn and also on the surrounding high grasses. The resolution and blurriness don't allow for cropping or enlarging very much but I think it does look better. As pretty much everyone recommended,, re shooting is the best to get a good image.

I can't help you with this great capture. But I want you to be able to see you camera data on your computer. The rule for hand held is shutter speed should be equal or faster than 1/mm lens. You shot at 1/30 and should have been faster than 1/40. Also your aperture should have been f 8 or f 11 for better DOF, (depth of field). You can do this by increasing your ISO to 800 or 1600 without any bad affects. David

Glad I could give you an opportunity to play!

Yes, time to try for a new picture and see what happens.

Thank you for all your efforts.

Here's my version.
PSE 11 UNSHARP amount: 38% threshold: 0%
SHARPEN (MOTION BLUR) amount: 161 radius: 14.8

These settings can be adjusted to taste
This will not allow for further cropping but the image looks sharper.
I often use this combination when I want to do some recovery on a dud.
