Recently, there was some discussion of shutter shock so I thought I'd have a go and see what the results are when shooting on tripod, SR off, at a wide range of shutter speeds. No sharpening in Lightroom or tweaking in Photoshop. All shot RAW, with jpg conversion using Adobe RAW in Lightroom. Aperture adjusted to suit, with ISO adjusted only minorly to suit.
First photo, shutter speed
1/10: First, the image scaled to fit:
Full size crop of the centre of the photo, 1200x800 pixels, here reproduced without any scaling, 1
/10.
Posting crops only from here on in -
1/15.
1/20 1/30 1/45 1/60 1/90 1/125 1/180 1/250 1/350 1/500 1/750 1/1000 1/1500 1/2000 1/3000 1/4000 1/6000 1/8000
The album contains both crops and full size views and if anyone wants to see the original RAW files, let me know.
For me, the sweet spot seems to be from about 1/125 or 1/180 and faster. I will try with another sturdier tripod too, just to make sure there's no tripod issues with the slower speeds. If I'm being overly critical, then 1/250 does look better to me than 1/125, but I don't know if that's because of shutter shock or tripod stability.
