I was messing around with my Canon 430EX and my 46" umbrella last night and was amazed at how sharp my photos were. I was basically experimenting to see how much of the ambient light in our basement I could kill with the highest sync speed when I noticed how sharp the photos looked.
This photo is with my 50mm f/1.8 at f/2.8, 1/200 sec and ISO 100. This photo above is the worst of the bunch and is still one of my better photos. I was blown away at how sharp it was. Never mind killing the room light anymore (which I had done, all the light here was from the umbrella). I now wanted to look into this sharpness thing. I know what the deal is here. Lots of good quality light and a nice fast shutter speed. But wow, I love it.
This one too, at f/2.8 is so sharp. I had enough depth of field to keep her face in focus yet throw her feet and the playhouse in front of her out of focus.
This one of me, done hand held with my arm stretched way out, it nice and sharp too. Using my Tamron 18-270 f/3.5-6-6.3 at 35mm, f/4 for 1/250 sec I got a great shot. This is not the sharpest lens out there, it's my all purpose walk around lens, but I am very happy with the result.
I think there will be a lot of artificially lit photos in my stream from now on.
