Carl, is this a single frame shot? How much post processing did you do in SPP? I notice green/magenta pattern noise there without zooming into 100%.
Yes, single x3f shot. Not much PP outside of SPP. I don't see any pronounced green/magenta noise looking at 100%. Most of the green is lichens and algae on the tree bark.Carl, is this a single frame shot? How much post processing did you do in SPP?

That is not a bug. Human error on my part for exposing while light from window was changing. I could of corrected by excluding the frame with the burned out specular highlight in this OOF area when processing the x3i file. Here is the 4th frame with no problem.SFD mode and SPP have some bugs to iron out even for still life scenes. Check out highlights on the watermelon:

Yes, you lose some microcontrast, but get an almost noise free image.Wow, amazing to see the difference between a single frame and the combined image. The x3i version looks so clean by comparison.
7 picture to make one picture Merrill like. Evolution. Darwin is actually drinking some more papa doble with Hemingway.Yes, you lose some microcontrast, but get an almost noise free image.
Nice impression of depth in the sunflower patch, I guess by focusing closer than the 'hyperfocal distance'? Nice and sharp at f/8.
Nice schooner! Well, I think it's a schooner. Probably 50' -60' and pitch pine on oak frames.
Thank you Steve. Yes, it is a large schooner named "True Love" and she does excursions on Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen.Nice schooner! Well, I think it's a schooner. Probably 50' -60' and pitch pine on oak frames.
That's one of the best sdQ shots I've seen. Very well done.
Ha! I looked it up. A 53'9" Alden built 1926. What a beautiful yacht by a great architect. One minor gripe I have with USA designed yachts of that era, and it is minor, but the bow sprits always seemed a bit (how can I say) on the short side, a bit stumpy if you like. I personally prefer a thundering great bow sprit!Thank you Steve. Yes, it is a large schooner named "True Love" and she does excursions on Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen.
