  • Not getting sharp images

    Posted by Ajapa Gupta on February 4, 2025 at 3:18 pm

    I have a Nikon D7100 with regular lenses: 18-140, 55-300 and 50 mm. Since almost always, i never found the pics sharp enough in manual mode (wildlife, birds etc) even though it was okay unless zoomed. I believe I was not skilled enough. Portrait images in 50mm always came out well.

    The camera is 10 years old now.

    Should i invest in better full frame lenses or buy a better camera like Sony a6700?

    I was at one time having similar questions, never getting good images. Then I realised I was not having good technique of shooting. Fortunately we have very good resource of Videos made by Sudhir Shivaram Sir in this very website. Go through all of them and practice photography in the field. Is the image not focused properly? Is there hand shake? Is there subject shake? Is the shutter speed enough? Is the light falling on the subject enough? Is the camera set for high ISO? … so many parameters. Once we master these things, then we need to think of better equipment. Have you shared any images in the group? If so, please point out so that experts may be in a position to check. If not, share some and let the experts know.

    I have written from my limited experience. Sudhir sir will reply separately when he is free.

    Kindly check the sensor of your camera body and lenses for fungus or any other damage. Get it serviced and cleaned. If you’re using uv filters, try to remove them and capture.
