I would hazard a guess that its in Plymouth.

There about 50 miles apart and Devon has some of the best beaches and places to visit in the country..

I like these, although they seem a little soft?

Or is it just me?

They seem soft to me as well, but I think that is just from resizing.

If your sizing down it should keep the sharpness fine?

It's if your upscaling you have problems.....correct me if I'm wrong?

Aye yur right dude, ive always found in photoshop that if anything, downsizing makes the photo better..

It won't 'make it better'

Where it's smaller you can't see the inperfections of the image, so it looks better

Sorry to sound pedantic, I'm tired and in a weird mood

Always had the problem with my images looking too soft

Phate · 25 Jan 2009 at 00:51

Use a smaller aperture?

I've always found it makes images softer, and people have always told me you should sharpen an image after you have resized it. I sharpen all of my images if I resize them.

I know what you mean... I always resize and then sharpen.

Looking at the exifs on the originals, I was using f/22

Oi, get out of my spot! I can see a scuffle going on soon!

(when I finally get some time away from uin work

)

I like the second one, the first looks like it has a distinct colour cast (I assume it's processing but not a fan of it) and it also looks very soft, probably due to f/22.

It's my spot now, you're slacking :cool:

To be honest now, I need somewhere else to take photos, I think I've overdone the hoe

Stupid dissertation!

Yeah, i'm thinking the same, it's a right pain in the **** not having a car so anywhere else nice (like dartmoor or along the coast) takes a ****** hard slog by bike before you even get to take pictures.

I stil have another few ideas for the area though, now I have a new 300mm lens I just need some time and the right weather to put it in place...
