Hey all,
So I have been taking night shots for quite some time now. They are turning out relatively well however I have yet to get any super CRISP shots. They look excellent on a screen but as soon as you zoom in one stationary things like trees, stumps, rocks, etc, they are blurry. Nothing is crisp. All photos seem to be a touch soft however it is more noticeable on night shots. I use a tripod about 80% of the time. 100% of the time on night shots. I rarely ever use autofocus but the same issue exists with autofocus. What am i doing wrong?
I'm wondering if it the lense? The result seem to be the same, not crisp, regardless of ISO, aperture, or shutter speed.
I'm using a T2i with a 15mm-85mm or 11-15mm canon lens. Shot on manual focus to infinity. Is there some trick I'm missing. Is there a way in post to clean it up if it's an ISO issue. This particular picture was shot at 3200 which is substantially higher then I normally shoot.
Anyone have any advice? I just can't seem to get the pictures crisp. I attached some examples to look at.
Thanks in advance.
