The second one is the better of the two. A little USM applied to both images to clean them up a titch. These are full frame, no cropping.

Yes, You don't really see it until you get up close. I'm going to post a couple more pics of other objects without stickers tomorrow.rjlittlefield wrote:Interesting pics, Carl! Stocking-stuffers are great fun.![]()
Is it halftone printing that makes the fine pattern I see on the helmet, the hat, and the Saloon sign? If so, then that's a great indication that you're getting good resolution & focus in those areas. What was your lens setup for these?

DOF at these magnifications gets very shallow. The fact that you're getting fairly crisp resolution of the half-tone pattern, well away from image center, indicates that your close-up lenses are working OK. Try stopping down some more.Carl_Constantine wrote:The focus isn't that great though as you can see by the blurryness in the astronaught image in particular.
