Lovely shots Don! That's my kind of light! #2 is my fave.
You have sensor dust specs in both....
Cheers!

Thanks, Taz. I thought I'd gotten the dust spots. Between the desert dust and the frequency with which I change lenses, I have to clean the sensor often!

Great set, #2 is my pick also. thumb

Regarding sensor cleaning, do you have a special apparatus to help accomplish that chore?

Thanks very much, Phil. As for cleaning the sensor, a guy at my local camera store taught me how a few years back. I asked him to clean the sensor and he said that'll be $20, but without charge I'll show you how to do it yourself. (This is one reason why I buy everything from a local camera store.) You have to buy some expensive, sterile swabs. You set the camera to manual cleaning, add a drop or two of cleaning fluid (alcohol) to the swab and brush the swab once across the sensor in each direction. But I wouldn't do it if someone hadn't showed me how.

Thanks for the info Don. I'll have to see if I can get my repair guy to give me a lesson.

#2 for me! The last one though is absolutely gorgeous but you know I love cactus blooms!!! wonderful detail and texture. I find the pink ones are easily over cooked...but this one is great1

Thanks, Eia. I know what you mean about overcooking cactus blossoms. I had to lower the magenta saturation here.
