Crispier tomatoes

My debut picture!!
The image is not as sharp/crisp as it was appearing in my Camera LCD? Although I used ISO 100, there were noises in the picture (specially around the tomatoes)....Would appreciate if anyone can advise how to improve the sharpness of the picture?

cheers..

Hi ratnendu, and welcome to DPS.

I'm not familiar with your camera, and cannot speak to why there'd be noise at ISO 100; however, the sharpness issue is, no doubt, related to your shutter speed. Did you use a tripod? 1/3 of a second is pretty slow, especially hand-held, but even on a tripod, just pushing the button can create enough motion to cause blur.

If I have to shoot slower than 1/25 or 1/50, I prefer to use a tripod, and even then I use the 2 sec timer to ensure my tripod is steadied by the time the shutter opens.

Nice colorful image, though!

Hi Sandeewig

thanks a ton for your feedback.

I did not use any tripod and the picture was taken in Aperture mode. Hence the shutter speed was auto selected by the camera. However, I will retake the picture with a higher shutter speed and advise you...(Subject to availability of tomatoes at my place of course..)
