Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

[Rooz]

Love the pocket pet Trackin. Makes me think of a tamigochi.

Still treading in Rooz's giant footsteps.
Severe digital crop, warmed, curved, sharpened large and small radius etc.

fantastic shot. love it.
what does large and small radius sharpening mean ?

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

I sharpened in NX around
amount 19, radius 8 to give crisp borders
then
I also sharpened amount 2, radius 80 (or something like that)

The small amount but big radius gave it a little more pop. A trick people on this site mentioned for flatish looking photos.

i'll have to try that thanks.

Have been looking at those lenses over the weekend, The Nikon is a little expensive would love to go with that one if I have the $$$$$. Have been contemplating the Tamron, does it have an internal motor, like SIGMA's HSM/Silent wave, as I have a D40.

P.S Are you in Australia to rooz?

yes, it is available with a built in motor, but only recently released.

As Rooz mentioned the Tamron 90mm macro has a focus motor but to be honest I can't think of a lens where you'd use autofocus less.

I really like manual focus for macro, it makes me feel a bit cross eyed after a while but it's the only way I can get the focus exactly where I want it.

DPR is yours the one with the AF motor ?
