Well I should have confessed this before: this one is not a sharp shot,
unlike the one at Firenze.
Circumstances were odd, but very similar to the one at Piazza della
Santissima Annunziata where I managed to get a sharp one. I saw what was
going to happen and have little time to make the image: two shots of
several seconds, this one the better. I seem to remember the camera
movement, but no time for a third attempt.
How can I fix camera's movement blur? - there is a sharpen > motion blur
filter, which asks for the angle of movement, but I was not able to
improve the image. Found no better choice than sharpening: 50 pix radius
at 20% when scanning, and selective USM in PS, some 60 pix radius at
30%. And the worst over-sharpening artifact can not be perceived in the
uploaded image (I will keep it in secret ... he he!)
Anyway, I have few photographs made with my head on the floor, and had
the feeling both were worth sharing. Both posed scanning challenges, as
did my Still Life TOPE entry. I would appreciate comments on this one
too, if anyone wishes to do so.
Last, I'm still not sure this 4000ED puts out sharp and correctly colour
balanced .tiff files. Always faily large amounts of USM are applied :-(
Thanks for looking - and will start considering using a higher ISO film
(... ouch!)
