Hello everyone.
I'm posting here hoping to find someone who can help me.
I recently got a 6D mark 2 to shoot my videos and it was all fine. Last night I was asked to take some photos during a meeting but I immediatly saw the lack of quality in all of them. I can't explain this absence of details even in the darkest enviroment or with the slowest shutter...
Waddizzle, i think you need to calm down. I dont understand why you are being so aggressive, i came here with a problem and what im trying to do is providing every source of information you guys are asking me to, in order to get this solved.
Regardin you questioning my exposure settings, again, it has nothing to do with it, flash freezes very well subjects and i can even take photos at 1/6 of a second if there is no heavy lights moving towards their bodies, like in here.
I can agree with you that i would normally take faster photos of a group of people, but in this case, place was very dark and i wanted to try and catch at least a little bit of background.
What i would honestly like from you is to treat me with respect and instead of desperatly trying to prove im a bad photographer, try to understand what the problem is and provide a solution, if you are failing to do so, then please dont reply back, your comments are not helping.This photo was taken with very similar data (1/25 and f 3.5 i think it was) and theres no watercolour looking blur whatsoever.

i am having the exact same problem than AndreaW, i feel you ! Also with the 6d mark II, also have been a canon user for the past 15 years, ive owned 5d mark 0,2 and 3, 6d and now 6d mark II, and this camera has something wrong.
it mostly happens with the area thats out of focus.
Of course i know what an out of focus area is due to the fact of using very wide apertures (this shot was taken with the 35 1.4art from sigma), but this is NOT how an out of focus area should look like, ive tested the same lens on my 5d mark 2 and it worked like a charm, so its not the lens either.
Look at the hair on the guy on the right, his hair is out of focus, of course, but does that out of focus looks natural to you? i was using a speedlight so movement there wasnt really an issue, and they were all posing for the photo.
I have been polite to you. Your friend has been argumentative and rude. She demonstrated she does not understand DoF or motion blur. Her complaints lacked merit. Curiously, you agreed with her.. How is that even possible when she posted no examples of her issue?
Just what exactly is wrong with thw above photo? Where and what is this watercolor that later you spoke of? Nothing that I can see. Or, were you speaking about another photo? Can you post a sample of it?
I do not see anything wrong with the photo you just posted, either Posting "normal" photos does not help resolve whatever issue you are having. As I have repeatedly noted, words and opinions are totally meaningless.
BTW, that one guy looks like Danny Seraphine with a longer beard than usual.
Is this the area of the photo that has the issue you are describing?
Those streaks in the hair look like braids or dreadlocks. The background is a "don't care condition", in my opinion.
You said you were at 35mm and f/2.8?
The people in the rear are out of focus. If the whole world does not understand your issue, whose fault is that?
