In the park... again (2)

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 12 February 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

It's back to Hyde Park in the Sydney city centre yet again.
This was taken on the 8th of January 2008 at 11am.

Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS

I've hesitated in displaying this photo because I felt that it wasn't sharp enough, but I've now been able to improve the sharpness dramatically with Photoshop's Smart Sharpen filter. In this case, I selected the Lens Blur option. It actually then allows you to turn a marker in a circle to find the direction of the blur, and you can see the result immediately. It certainly saved the day here. I also mention Smart Sharpen in the photo that I've linked to this page, below. (The other options are Gaussian Blur and Motion Blur. I'm just choosing the one that seems to work best.)

If you haven't seen my the previous photos in this series, all taken in this exact same place, you can trace them back through the links I've place each time, starting from HERE
