just liked the colors in this shot, if the pelican had of been a little more to the left this may have made an entry to this months comp?

So i spoke too soon, dust spots still there, not as much but visible when i shoot at the blue sky, so its a wet clean of the sensor for me.

here's a few from thanksgiving morning, i took a walk around lake elsinore, water levels are way down, 10-15 feet at least, sky was pretty though, it looks like a parent toddlers group had arranged a walk

So it's a good thing you captured it!

The first time I wet cleaned my sensor, I realized it's really difficult to see down in there because my hand holding the sensor swab blocked so much of the light. So I used my other hand to hold the camera still while also holding a pocket flashlight. I might have to set up a small desk lamp if I ever need to do it again. Good luck with the cleaning!

By the way, as a kid, I never saw any rainbows. Then one day a huge one showed up. Now I try to go outside after a storm and have seen a couple since then. Glad you were able to capture this rainbow!

Is Rebecca in the orange helmut?

 

[Marilynne]

So did she pass??

 

[Roy1961]

Jack, she has the black helmet, brown belt, the little boy, red belt was testing for his level one black belt, he used to kick her around, now its not so much.

Marliynne, yes she did, will get her new level 2 brown belt next week, 1 more brown and 3 red to go before black, this time next year all being well, thanks

 

[Roy1961]

haven't been posting in a while, work \ house been keeping busy, haven't had my camera out much either, this one from last night should be in the almost section, flash up too strong (did this the last time and forgot to change it), looking forward to getting back out to lake skinner tomorrow

photo wont upload??? probably for the best, anyway Rebecca passed and got her level 2 brown belt, she also won best female student of the year, which was a surprise as she won it last year, so I was well pleased, will take her out to her favorite restaurant (soup plantation).

 

[Roy1961]

nice shadows eh!! I suck at indoor pics with the SB700, need to practice more and turn the flash strength down, angle the head and use the diffuser.
