Hi Rick. Again, perhaps give this a hefty dose of high ISO noise reduction? Even without magnification it is quite apparent and for me detracts from the inherent crispness of the view. Just wondering why you are shooting with such a high ISO in full light...
@frankhymus That is actually one of many applications from the editing program I use which did play a major part in its appearance, but the ISO is high. I take many of my photos on my way to work in the morning when I have low lighting conditions, so I do bump up the ISO as well as the shutter speed as I take many photos on the move. Then I tend to forget to reset the ISO later in the day. So in this one the ISO was up, but the particular app really added this look.
@frankhymus No problem. Always welcome feedback. As an amateur, I usually do not pay real close attention to the specifics. Once I really get serious, then I'll have to do some research, and learn how to do it right. I wish I had the time to do more serious work, but for now, it's just fun.
