My Most Important Publication: Making Sharp Images
Related: bokeh, optics, post processing, raw, sharpness, technique, tripods and support
The most important publication on this site is Making Sharp Images (MSI), which is about many things, all of which apply to every kind of camera, hence I am rethinking the name as I expand it.
Whether you shoot a mirrorless camera, a DSLR, or Zeiss or Leica or medium format or video, the material in Marking Sharp Images is the jump-start and reference that will help remove frustrations, explain the Weird Stuff and result in a higher keeper rate.
MSI offers approachable material for beginners, and in-depth exploration for experts. My aim is to bridge the knowledge gap that even experienced photographers often have (particularly for optics), and to do wherever possible in show-and-tell ways—approachable and tangible.
The demands on technical excellence for high-res digital are higher than ever before, so investing in a high-res system without upgrading your “game” doesn’t deliver. Put another way, why not get the best results out of the system you have, whatever it is?
