Crest Serpent Eagle

Hello, Nishand. Looks like we still have some work to figure out what is going on. I looked back at some of your other images. The one of the Langur monkey is pretty good. The camera settings also look good, even though the shutter speed is a bit low. The camera settings in the Langur  image look more appropriate for stationay subjects. In this image, the aperture was f10. A larger aperture, say f8 or F7.1 would probably been more appropriate. Of course the shutter speed woudl have gone down, but you could have compensated by raising the ISO from 100. Going forward, I would recommend that you post images of simple, stationary, single subjects with no surrounding vegetation. This will help minimize the variables that affect commentary. I would also include the minimum following information with each post.

Camera:
Lens:
Focal Length:
Aperture:
Shutter Speed:
ISO:
Camera Mode: Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual 
Focusing Mode: Single-Point AF, Dynamic-area AF, Auto-area AF, 3D-tracking
Camera Hold: Hand held, Tripod

If you give us this information, along with a larger image, it will help in our critique.

For now, I would pick a maximum ISO and leave it there. Not sure how the D3200 performs at high ISO's, but I would go no higher than 400 until you understand your camera. Also, I would stick to apertures of f8 or larger. Also, make sure you use single-Point AF and Aperture Priority for now. So, shoot a simple subject, post with the above information and let's get you on track.

 

A nice find, Nishand.  Too bad it was so hidden.

Hi Nishand, and welcome.  I took a look at the photos that you've posted so far and it seems to me that you either have an equipment problem or a processing problem.  All of the photos are soft, and for many of them (such as those of cattle), it just should not be.   It's evident that you are very close and shooting a subject that is not moving much.  Your equipment is quite decent, so unless there is something wrong with this equipment the photos should be much sharper.   Your camera may have a very dirty sensor, or the lens may have some issues.  It will be impossible to really critique your photos until this is resolved.  Maybe there is a local photo shop that can help you to resolve what is going on.  Once this is fixed I think you will be amazed at how much better these photos can be.

To test the processing, try setting the camera to just shoot in jpeg mode and then post one of those jpegs to this website.  That will cut down on the processing.   You will have to reduce the size to post here.  I have also used the Nikon software in the past and it works fine for processing RAW images, so I can't really see how you can get these fuzzy results from processing.   Still, a jpeg would be a good test to try to find the issue.
