Muscadae Fly

garyt

Found this Muscadae fly today in the cold weather, and he was slow enough I had time to take a couple of shots. Only problem was I forget to put the ISO back to 100 where I shoot macros, so these shots were all taken at ISO 1000, and are a little noisy. The other thing I've been noticing is that resizing the photos to store on the web looses some of the detail and sharpness of the photo. Anyone have a resolution for this? Perhaps another sharpening after the re-sizing?

Good ones Gary
I've done that trick with the ISO- I was suprised how little noise you get with high ISO and good lighting (ie flash).
Re the resizing- think many people use a little re-sharpen on the reduced size pic- I certainly do. I use USM for sharpening and leave it at 200,1,1 settings but fade the full shot to around 50% and then do the same again on the resize but fade it to to 30%

Ahhhhhhh yes a sure sign of an addict, normal people would not be looking for flies on a cold day

For using an ISO of 1000 these are pretty darn good, not as noisey as you would expect to see actually.

Well done Gary ... Skippy
