Hi all,
I tried to take some photos of some buildings at night. I used a Canon 60d on a tripod. I set the mirror up and set the shutter release on a 2 min delay. I had the iso at 100 (to minimize noise). The lens is EF-S 18-135mm. Stabilisation was on.
Looking at the results there still seems to be camera movement (see attached).
To get it looking really sharp do you have to manipulate the image on the computer?
By the way the white wiry lines around the spires are birds hunting insects attracted by the light.

Hi Linda,
Nice shots.
I have the same camera and lens and have tried to shoot some of the local birds and have not come close to these.
Did you have the what did you have the focus set on - central point? and was it set at one shot or AI Servo? Did you set it to auto white balance? And finally what did you set the metering mode to?

Where is the location?

Hi,
I am looking at upgrading from the canon kit lens (EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 II) to Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 HSM DC MACRO.
I know it is a budget lens and you get what you pay for but the question is is this lens any good?
Is it any better than the canon kit lens?

The camera was on auto focus. Nobody else was in the house except me and the flowers were not moving.
I tried to eliminate external factors but raising the mirror is a good idea.
I used the central focus point aimed at the central stamen.
I want to be able to take photos of things like flowers, insects etc where main object in the photo is in focus but everything else is not.
I chose a wide aperture in an attempt to concentrate the focus on a specific point. It concerns me that the petals were the part of the photo most in focus because this is not where the central point was aimed at.
I will run some more tests tomorrow using a test chart.
Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for the quick response.
I will print up the focus chart tomorrow and try it out.
