Handheld 1/25, I'm impressed.

Thanks Robert. If you mean the round label on the neck, I just selected it and applied an adjustment layer in 'overlay' blend mode to lighten it a little then applied a levels adjustment to add some contrast.

more practice with Raya. I'm not happy with this result. i need to learn more.

Edit: It's not as clean and it has noise. I know what I have done wrong. My dark frame is way too dark. Jimmy MacIntyre advices to shoot 9 bracketed shots(1EV) to have more choices to pick when blending. i didn't do 9 bracketed shots, I only did 3 frames shot manually. I thought to shoot 9 bracketed shots all the time would wear out my shutter.

It was a bird nerd kind of day today at Brazos Bend State Park, 128GB...a9/70-200/2xTC...don't worry I won't post them all...

I have tried cleaning my sensor three times with those sensorswab ultra #3 and Aeroclipse solution and I can't seem to get these spots off. I've even tried rubbing back and forth with the damp swabs and the stuff just doesn't want to go away. Any idea what it could be or how to go about getting it off? Send it in to professional place? Looking for advice.

WoW! I have a couple of stubborn spots on mine but nowhere near as bad/much as that!!

I've tried wet cleaning (Dust Patrol fluid I think?) & they won't go. I have bought a Eyelead stick but I haven't been in the right mood/frame of mind/relaxed with spare time to get around to using it yet.....

I baby my camera and never take it out in bad Dusty conditions or rain and I don't constantly change my lenses when I'm out shooting either. I've never cleaned my sensor before up until recently because I could see some spots when I was shooting f/11 for some landscape pictures. I don't think it's dust.... Because I wouldn't think dust would be so stubborn.

Here is the cure-

Shooting water splash photography at F20 I see everything that is on the sensor, every piece of dust on every element in the lens and of course anything on the front element.
I've used Aero-clipse for years because of this-

He should know since he's an inside Sony guy.
BUT several times Aero-clipse didn't clean my sensor.
The Smear-away did.

That’s a great place to shoot wildlife and gators.

Could it be damage to the emulsion or the protective layer over the sensor?

It was...we saw gators...lots of them...some just before they got way too close. Tons of birds...

Headed to Moab tomorrow. I'd like to think I'll get some nice shots but in reality its a family trip with emphasis on biking and hiking....none of which will be done at sunrise or sunset. I'm kinda considering making the pre-dawn trip to Mesa arch in canyonlands NP. I've never been there and I guess it's a quick walk to the arch. Who knows...I'll just be happy to be there! You folks will certainly have to endure some family pics if nothing else!
