I also made a video using the T2i the very same day I took this photo. The video can be viewed here on my website.

I have a pet theory about sharpness. We make a lot of fuss about “which camera?” and “which lens?”... but I think more in terms of what I call ‘perceived sharpness’. That is... if a pic looks sharp, then, basically, it is sharp (no matter what any lens bench-test might suggest). ‘Perceived sharpness’ may rely on something as simple as shooting a well-lit subject against a darker background, like the pic below. The subject will appear to ‘come forward’ in the pic, and it will seem ‘sharper’.
‘Perceived sharpness’ isn’t something I’ve read about. But we evaluate images with the eyes in our heads, so, IMO, these are the instruments to trust. I use a Nikon D200 and (for 99% of shots) the ‘kit’ 18-70mm lens (which, though it gathered good reviews, is regarded by many photographers as little better than a toy). Looking at the exposure info on the mountain/lake shot, it was taken, hand-held, at 1/160sec at f9 (ironically, perhaps the only shot I’ve posted here for the past few months that wasn’t taken with a tripod)...
Hand-held??? Doylem?? I don't believe it. I think someone hacked into Doylem's account here, we must contact the moderators.
A late afternoon in the Spring, cool and crisp. The shells came from Cape Cod.

I really like doylem's photo. (previous page, quoted in last post)
Infrared on a Dslr using two pieces of slidefilm as a filter. Slidefilm must be developed BUT unexposed. For exposure i used a tripod, remote and a stopwatch.

Beware of daughters and computers.
