After Shot Focus

alphaomega16 · 16-03-2007, 2:03 PM

Heya guys I am really ****** atm cause I took what seems like a once in a lifetime funny shot but its a bit out of focus cause I went to Manual Focus cause AF wasnt doing a good job this close.

I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to improve the picture to make it a bit more clearer ?

Can send original file if it would help.

Also managed to snap this off thought it was cute

You were probably closer than the minimum focussing distance of the lens sadly. It's a shame as it would have been a cracker.

I reckon you're screwed on this one. It's beyond repair I reckon.

Maybe do something really wierd to it with contrast & levels, get rid of the background etc to make it look like you meant it

Well I got another one but didnt realise that it was set on landscape

So after using Elements to brighten it a bit and crop all the crap from our front room out of it I ended up with this.

I really need to stop doing rush jobs lol.

I normally love a challenge... but come on. LOL

I'm afraid I couldn't pull much detail out. This is the best I could manage.

lol sorry but the damn thing was climbing up me trouser leg and camera was in arms reach but it got to the top before I whipped it out lol.

Then it started sniffing the camera so I thought *** lets go for it.

Also thats a pretty damn good job you deserve top props for a really good effort.

Never scared it either they were 10M before first picture was taken using my feet as scratch posts then one of them decided to advance up my leg to confront me so I whipped out me camera and blinded it

This one by liquid

There is a software product Focus Magic
which I bought once to rescue images like this. it worked well but the registration no wouldn't work if i needed to reinstall it aftera windows problem. It was $45 and as such I found that cheeky and wouldn't really recommend it unless they have changed their business practice
