Cool perspective on a Sextant! Not sure I'm crazy about half a Cannon logo reflected back though the index mirror, but otherwise an interesting shot - I actually like the mismatch "jiggle" in the image seen at the shade glass hinge bolts and stopper peg.
Yeah it aint sharp. This is the curse of the high res camera. Sitting on a good quality tripod with a timer shot, and still movement in the exposure. I guess I need to lock the mirror up for macro shots like this. Very frustrating.
Hey Jet, do you have any theories what caused that jiggle? The shot looks pretty in focus except for around those bolts. I am somewhat mystified as to what caused that.
Mirror lock up is a must with long exposures, That first slap and vibration from the mirror and its all over. If this is a few shots that were merged together, the effect can get compounded fast.
Nah it is all from one raw which is why I cannot understand why much of it is in solid focus but some not. It may be from the flash fixing some of it but not all of it. That is probably what it is. Need to look into mirror lock.
Daq, did you use a shutter release cable or self timer? Manually pressing the button on a shot like this can introduce shake.
Otherwise, it's a very interesting shot. I'm impressed that you actually have a sextant and I'm even more surprised that Jet could identify it. I clearly need to get out more... :-)
I had the camera on a medium weight tripod. I did press the button, but had it on a 2-second timer. I called it up in photoshop and looked at it again, and it is definitely camera shake, so I will need to do mirror lock up when I reshoot this. I am probably not going to clean up the camera reflection in this, because the shake kind of ruins it, but I like the shot enough that I will try to reshoot it.
I think that there is something other than mirror slap going on here. The vibration from the mirror dies down in a fraction of a second. A 2 second exposure shouldn't be able to pick it up at all. - TF
