A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How do some photographers get some insanely sharp shots? (alien.top)

Over the years, I've noticed some photographers post insanely sharp images. Primarily portraits of people. Like everything is perfectly crisp even when they post to Facebook and social media programs that generally destroy resolution.

I wouldn't get similar sharpness even if I boosted my shots 100%.

Are they using crazy expensive lenses or do the newer mirrorless cameras just capture more of a crisp look? It's almost as if the resolution is 2-3x what I shoot in. All I've ever shot with is the 5D series.

The only time I've obtained similar sharpness was using art lenses up-close, but those are super heavy so I can't imagine photographers are using them often.

Is this all software related? Are they using some specialized program that perfectly sharpens each image? If so, what are they using? I'm not talking about focus. Specifically sharpness.

I just went to NYCC to shoot cosplay. Watched a couple of YouTube videos about shooting in aperture priority for my old Nikon DSLR. Stuff is already starting to look better because now the flash doesn't pop up. Shot night city buildings and day cosplayers. Still learning, but I feel like I'm heading in the right direction
