How to get really sharp photos

Here are a series of photos showing full-framed image and then followed up with a crop 100% view of the same image.  If you want to enlarge your photos and have people admire them on the walls of your home or office, be sure they are in focus & sharp.

I used for this exercise a point and shoot camera. I used the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 camera.  I made the photos of the same object handheld and then with a tripod.  Can you tell the difference in these bright sunlit photos?

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
