I was in a fashion shoot a couple weeks ago and I was really excited about how things were going and the overall feel of the shoot. Nothing could ruin my flow, as the photo gods blessed my shoot.Now keep in mind I’m no Zach Arias or Chase Jarvis, but I love what I do and I work hard at it! As every good photographer does(or should)I backed up my photos and started to peep in Lightroom.I started noticing that some of my photos seemed a bit soft.I was so tired and spent from the shoot, that I didn’t think much about it and went home.I had a conversation with a friend who’s a DSLR video freak and told him what I had experienced.His reaction was the same as mine…lol.whatever.I think his exact statement was something like “you are trippin”. As I went through the photos I had noticed a couple more soft images from that same lens. Nothing to waste,but soft.It could have been really easy to blame the AF system of the 5DmII,but I didn’t go there.Instead I found the most amazing tool that will calibrate your lenses and make your photos tact sharp.It’s a tool called LensAlign MkII . It calibrates your lenses to the body of your camera and yields amazing results.In the photos below I calibrated my Canon 5DmII with a 24mm-70mm f/2.8 lens.The end results were so fantastic.If you look closely at the 0 mark on both photos you can see one is a bit soft and one is sharp. The greatest thing about this kit is that it’s easy to use.If you are a professional, or get paid, you owe it to yourself and your clients to invest in this or something similar. You can always send your gear to the manufacturer, in this case Canon, and they will calibrate for a fee.I’m not sponsored by LensAlign, I just really loved this kit. You can buy the LensAlign MkII here.No matter if you’re a wedding photographer, fashion photographer, or nature photographer, this kit will improve your focus.If you have any questions about the kit or equipment used just reply to the post and I’ll try my best to help you out.I hope this helps!Now go and create better photographs.
