Yesterday on my lunch hour I went out to take a few photos. Surprisingly to me, when I checked them out at home most were not in focus. You can see what I'm talling about in photo #1. Ignore the fact I've already worked on the photo a bit
1. Ap | 17mm | f8 | 1/500s | ISO 100
So I figured where I screwed up was with the aperture being too wide. So I went back today and shot at f22, only to end up with pretty much the same thing. This photo is not doctored at all. I realize the shutter speed is a lot slower but even 1/60s should be way fast enough for this sort of subject, no? It was pretty windy, but I took like 6 shots and all share the same OOF look to the hydro towers.
2. Ap | 17mm | f22 | 1/60s | ISO 200
And here's another shot of the same place but in a different spot. This I did 3 exposures and merged them into one HDR shot. It's pretty sharp, especially compared to the first two.
3. Ap | 17mm | f22 | 1/100s | ISO 200
Any thoughts on why the hydro towers in #1 & #2 are so blurry?
Thanks in advance.
