How to Sharpen photos Part 3

The last part to sharpen your photo from your camera ....
5.Find the sweet spot
Every lens has a sweet spot, the aperture value that gives a lot of pleasure to your camera and the sharpest photos to you… You have to find it, try or just use Google.. or use the Force if you are short, green, with big ears/ and pretty old..

6.RAW
Always, always shoot in raw. It’s uncompressed, has a lot of data, you don’t need to set the white point and use colored filters.. and it’s raw, come on, it’s cool, in its natural state, not yet processed, so wild!There are so much thing you can do when you shoot in raw (ps and LR).

7.Low ISO
Try to shoot at low iso values. I know sometime it’s hard and I don’t want to sound like your mom (hahahaha), but especially in low-light conditions, it’s a pretty big deal..
100-400 iso : GREEN LEVEL – you’re pretty ok, your photo has the potential to be uber sharp
400-800 iso : ORANGE LEVEL – mmh, it can be a great shot, but don’t pretend to process it as sharp as a knife
800-1200 iso: RED LEVEL – Yeah, that’s pretty noisy
1200-3200 iso: DANGEROUS RED LEVEL – Yeaaaaah, we’re so raw! It’s so old school, yeaaah we like it dirty!
Anyway, try to stay under 400 iso..if you really wants you picture to be sharp ....
The End ......and some other time i will continue how to sharpen photo from PS .
