Rainbow and Dust Bunnies

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hello fellow duck shooters (with a D70 of course :P )

Another severe storm this evening and it left this lovely rainbow which has been ruined by the presence of dust bunnies (big one on the left) AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH:!:

OK, who has experience with ccd cleaning? It's not the lens, filter etc, tried another lens and it's still there.

Hi Rusty,

I have cleaned the CCD several times now with very good results.
May I suggest that you do some search and research on that topic.
When you have digested the information and have gotten hold of proper
cleaning tools take some deep breaths.
The CCD cleaning process is actually a routine.
Follow the instructions, don't try to improvise, stick to the suggestions and instructions and YOU WILL BE ALLRIGHT.
And ask any questions that pop up !

Cheers
CD

That dust bunnie is easily removed with cloning. Cloning sky areas are relatively easily as it's usually just a gradiented area that has to be cloned.
