"silhouttes"annoying censor blobs,what is solution

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.

They look very much like what is known as dust bunnies. They will be on your sensor which just needs cleaning :wink:

Sensor dust can so easily be removed using the healing brush in Photoshop. Once it gets bad, I then use the Copperhill method of cleaning.

The Easter Dust Bunny leaves his little gifts everywhere.

But I's aldo be a bit concerned at those squiggly lines in the upper RH corner of each of the images. :)

But for the former problem, you simply need to get your friendly Giotto Rocket and give the sensor a quick blast. If that fails, a wet clean with the appropriate alcoholic fluids (methanol for the sensor, red wine for the sensor-cleaner) is prescribed.

By the way - dust bunnies are the price we all pay for not using film.

I have figured out what dust and scratches are all about on film - and have been discovering new ways of achieving them. I'll take a dust bunny on a digital sensor any day.

Craig,

If it's scotch, then it's whisky, if it's Irish, Canadian, or Bourbon, then it's whiskey. Don't ask. :)

Now, what was your question again?

Hic!
