It appears to me to be more of a scanner problem. I've run into a similar
problem when using a flatbed (microtek) and trying to scan a neg.
Something about the focus of a flatbed is what I found out. Now it may
just be my monitor but the eye appeared fuzzy also as did the branch which
is in about the same plane.
Hi Andy!
Once again, I've not managed to make myself clear. The actual scan was
made from a 4x6" print and so lacks the detail of a negative scan.
Now it may just be my monitor but the eye appeared fuzzy also as did the
branch which is in about the same plane.
The eye looks "reasonably" sharp on my monitor, though not with the crisp
detail of the print. (What can you expect for US$69?) And the branch runs
at a diagonal to the camera, so it's difficult, even for me, to tell where
the point of focus on it *should* be. No question, however, that the dof
of the scanner is about as limited as the dof in the photo!
I'm having much more serious problems with a shot taken last week at a
relatively balmy minus 20 Celsius, I have two shots of an American Bald
Eagle, looking at me from a snow covered tree, but I'm having a devil of a
time getting the scan of the print to look sharp, yet the eyeball in the
print is tack sharp, even under a 5x loupe! If I can get it to look half
way decent, I'll post it.
Thanks for your comments, and for looking!
Cheers!
