- Photos NOT OK to edit
They are too dark, too noisy, out of focus, and have too much dead space.
I honestly would not have wasted time post processing these pictures. Try shooting again, but use the following settings:
ISO 100
f/8.0
This will give you a larger DoF, which is what you need. manually focus the shots. Turn AF completely off. Make sure that you're getting the proper exposure when you TAKE the photo. It looks like you're boosting the exposure in post, which is making the photos more noisy. Just use a longer shutter speed instead. At ISO 200, you should have no visible noise.
Keep practicing!
