Isaiah Christening: out of focus

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Postby genji on Mon Apr 11, 2005 4:02 pm

had the pleasure of taking photos at an iraqian christening last sunday.

the photo below happened in a split second. the sun out came creating shaft of yellow light just as the priest? carried the baby from the sink

Image

unfortunaly the baby is not in focus..the D70 just not focus fast enough to focus on the baby

here's a crop of the out of focus baby

Image

Reduce the size (as you've done) unsharpen the priest behind so it doesn't stick out so much, and add maybe some glare or play up more the light from above aspect to wash out the photo slightly to counter the less than optimal focus.

that a great idea..draw the focus away from the 'sharp' focus priest. I was thinking a vignette would also work.

thanks onxy :)
