Thanks a lot Pete, I appreciate that…..and I agree with you about film. 😎

Great shots!
1. Tell us how you keep from electrocuting yourself with your power source in the surf?
2. My favorite was the B&W shot.
3. As long as I was using sepia with architecture, I had to suggest you try sepia on the great B&W shot. Note: I asked and received permission from David to post this interpretation of his…[Read more]

Hi Doug, thanks a lot, it's good to see someone here from RFF…… The story behind the Thanaka (white paint) is this,…[Read more]

Thanks a lot Kurt for that nice compliment, I appreciate that….

David, I'm impressed with how much your lighting skills have grown. The shots of the woman with the red swimsuit are gorgeous.

David,
Nice shots and easy on the eyes so late in the day:o. The edge still goes to Leica in lens performance and one day, someday, they may have a fast 100 with central shutter that comes in at a reasonable price. But till that day comes you can have a reasonable substitute.

I'd like:
• 5:4 crop mode for verticals
• USB 3.0 for faster tethering
• Wi-Fi for JPGs directly to iPad

Glad you posted that second shot Jack…I think it's very well done and remarkably good considering the gear that was available to you at the time. When you compare that image to the one taken with the S2 the improvement in the tonal range is dramatic…at least to my eyes. And I like your newer sepia toning even better than the earlier version.…[Read more]

Well, today I decided to attempt cleaning the sensors on both my Canon & Leica. I started with the Canon (EOS-1DS Mark III) and had it pretty darn clean, first using a Visible Dust sensor brush, then Sensor Swabs with Eclipse. There were a few stubborn spots, probably either moisture or perhaps camera lubricant. By time I had gone through…[Read more]

Thanks for the replies and input on this. I posted this on several different forums and got a variety of responses, but most of them were positive by people who were cleaning their camera sensors using various quality products. I plan to attempt to clean the M9-P sensor and my Canon EOS-1DS Mk III very soon and will report back.

Cheers,

Mark W.

Hi Jack: I tried several time to upload high res images for you but somehow the website keeps dropping off. It locks up and I have to reboot the link and then all the time uploading is lost. Not sure how to handle this. I could send you via email a couple of images using a free temp storage site?
