Originally posted by pandapilotThanks! And "right conditions" mean more sun and a better place to spot?
Originally posted by pandapilotThat could be a real problem for me, considering I am taking mist of my pictures in St. Peteresburg (ULLI/LED). We have around 60 sunny days per year and quite a few spotting events...

Originally posted by pandapilotThat's why I was asking about the camera. It is very noisy at 200+ ISO, and in weather like this I have to shoot f/11 1/800 at 1600 ISO (and even after that I have to add the exposure in lightroom). The results are not very good...

Originally posted by pandapilotI took this picture in more sunny conditions - is it any better? It is cropped a little so I can correct the composition if it's looking wrong. Thank you for your help and feedback in advance.

Originally posted by pandapilotP.S. I tried to set sharpening settings as shown in the video tutorial (amount 100, radius 1.6, detail 72, masking 50), but I don't see any difference on my monitor. Here is the result:
In general, best way to avoid a soft image is to make sure the original is as sharp as possible - this is influenced by many factors such as lens quality, camera settings, weather conditions, so it would be difficult to say what exactly is causing it in your image(s). You can also hide such quality deficiencies by using a lower resolution like 1200pix instead of 1500.

Well... I use a cheap 50$ canon 75-300 lens (the only one I can afford ((( ), the camera was in Tv. Changed the image composition (honestly tried to copy this two https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9596063 and https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9380372, taken at the exact same spot) and reducted the noise.

Thanks! This is my final take on these frames, if they cannot get any better I'll ask my friend to lend me his manual soviet 135mm and see if it makes any difference. I've reduced clarity, saturation and dehaze settings to zero and added some contrast.
