IN an ordinary every day un-expected shot... do I gt brownie points?

The shot....

The moire

Should I start a "Post your moire photos" club?

JinDesu · 03-11-2013, 08:34 AM

Is that moire? Or just oversharpening artifacts? It doesn't seem to have false colour, just odd luminosity.

normhead · 03-11-2013, 08:40 AM

Here's the raw image, before sharpening, the pattern is still there.

JinDesu · 03-11-2013, 08:42 AM

I am very sorry - I don't mean to be contrary in any way, but I see nothing... it may be my monitor though... I'm literally leaning in to an inch or two from my monitor just to try to find it.

normhead · 03-11-2013, 08:44 AM

I guess it could possibly just a part of the tail feather that's in ver sharp focus, although the rest of the image is so soft...

JinDesu · 03-11-2013, 08:50 AM

It would be good for others to chime in, it may just be my monitor...

Nass · 03-11-2013, 09:10 AM

It's moire alright, interesting how the sharpening displaced it. Moire is of particular interest to me because it often shows up in the patterning on insect eyes on my stuff

Adam · 03-11-2013, 09:28 AM

There was a great shot posted earlier where moire was very visible on a building in a landscape shot. It definitaly creeps in from time to time!

JohnM · 03-11-2013, 09:52 AM

I see it with my K5 IIs every now and then, no doubt. But not very often with what I have been shooting. I really don't see it being terribly bad in this shot.

No, but you can go to the front of the class and claim a sweetie.

This is shot with a k-5, and I really would't care, much, I got a hundred or so shots of these birds. I just found it interesting.

Parallax · 03-11-2013, 03:26 PM

I doesn't seem to be moire to me, either. I don't see anything on the raw, and I agree with JinDesu. I looks like a sharpening issue.

normhead · 03-11-2013, 03:29 PM

Ya, Parallax but first you're going to have to convince me you're not just messing with my head here, like you always do.

LFLee · 03-11-2013, 03:29 PM

can you put a red circle where you think there is moire? I don't see any...
