They are just another handy way to organize (besides stars, picks, and the quick collection). I use them to make notes to my self, for instance I use blue to indicate that I want to go back and make some local adjustments, red to say it might be a reject, but let me play around with it. Then I often use green and yellow as a temporary quick collection. That kind of thing.Originally Posted by FlyBoeingJets
Love the framing, saturation, vignetting on the flag image! As for the carousel, I'm not on a calibrated screen, so it is hard for me to tell, but it looks like the white balance might be a little green, and for a cozy carnival ride, it might suit the image to warm it up just a touch (in my opinion on a non-calibrated screen so who knows what I'm looking at) Also I imagine that you are resting the camera on something to get the shutter speed, so you are limited in your framing, but I find the railing cutting right through the center of frame slightly distracting. If you had a choice (which again I realize you might not have due to trying to find something to rest the camera on) I might try and get the camera point up a bit to try and get that railing a bit lower in the frame.
Flag image is bangin'...except for one thing: There is a TON of dirt on your sensor, man! Get busy with that dust-off!
And I concur with the "slight green-ness" of the carousel image...from a calibrated screen.
The largest specs seem to be about an inch above the top right corner of the blue field of the flag. There's about five of them there. They basically look like round dark blue blobs about 1/8 inch in dia. I lost count at seven of them.
I see 'em now. I'll have to look out for stuff like that on my own shots.
That brings up a question:
Do you guys clean your own sensors or do you bring the body to a shop for cleaning? If you do clean your own, what process do you use? Products?
Thanks.
A bulb is your best weapon, but if you have stuff that is "welded on" that the blower can't get, I use Eclipse II fluid (which is no where near as good as the original Eclipse, but it doesn't damage my particular sensor) and sensor swabs, which are just pec pads wrapped around a stick that is the size of your sensor. The company that makes the stuff stands pretty firmly behind their product in that it won't damage your camera, they in fact will replace your camera if the product does damage it.
Photographic Solutions site here, which will tell you what size swabs and which Eclipse fluid. You can also get it on Amazon.

With all that said, it is almost always remedied with a few strong shots from the blower bulb.
