Here is an item that was fun to set up and shoot.  Please offer any comments/suggestions.  This was taken with Nikon D70 with Nikon AF Nikkor 35~70 mm non D lens with f5.6 and SS 1/125s using onboard flash, ISO 200. Please offer any comments/suggestions.

 

Thanks for looking.

Nice pattern! Is it some kind of fabric? You have a little bit of purple fringing showing on some of the borders between white and black but that is easily removed wih the right software.

Well, I guess I am not able to see the fringing.  I am using a magnifying glass and cannot pin it down.  On second glance I do see some blue fringing in a lot of places.  Interesting since I used a short telephoto lens.  Any chance this could be caused by the built-in flash?

 

Thanks for your comment.

The fringing is a result of the lens being not quite apochromatic. As not all wavelengths are focused in the same plane, you get coloured ghosts at borders with great contrast. There are few fully APO lenses made, and even fewer are zooms... Good post processing software can automatically detect the fringing and correct it.

Well sir, I thank you again.  Would you mind recommending the best software available?  

 

thanks, tony

I don't know if it is "the best", but CaptureNX does a good job. LR and Photoshop works well too, as does DxO
