Apology & Lesson Well Learned
Sep 30, 2015 10:01:23 #
Recently I posted photos from a shoot at Nappa Tree Pt., Watch Hill, RI..
In my haste, because I always seem to be racing the clock, I posted a photo of the light house at Watch Hill, RI. not noticing the spots in the sky portion of the photo. While finally spending the time to organize my photos, I noticed the spots and I know it wasn't my sensor but the lens. The wind was blowing from the NE over the sand dunes any where from 10 - 20 mph and I was facing the rising sun. My lens and the other fellow that was with me lens, were constantly collecting sand which needed to be removed very carefully because of it's abrasiveness.
So, with respect for all those who do there best to show their photographs in their proper context, I apologize. On a constructive mind of thought, I consider it a lesson well learned. Thanks to all of you who help those of us who need some coaching in photography.
I have done some PP on #2 and hope it merits a good score. Most of my photos get only a mild PP.

No apologies necessary; we've all been there, done that!
The sand and salt problem is why I always keep a daylight filter on my lens (actually it's always on my 18-135 walk around lens) when I'm near the shore or on the boat.

Good job!
I would like to say that the spots are the dust on the sensor, not on the lens! Dirt on the lens surface won't make such spot image on the picture. If the dirt becomes large enough, it will degrade the picture to become soft!

This is just lovely. It makes want to sit there with my girl :)
Good job done on spot removal, incredible how those spots can really take your eye off and changes the scene.

Thanks for the input wingclui44. I checked the sensor several times and it looks spotless. Some times when you shoot towards the sun it will take a picture of your aperture because it reflects back to the glass. My other photos did not have them. I make a practice of checking the sensor before each shoot and use a rubber bellow to blow it off. If it happens again I will have the sensor professionally cleaned.

JCam, I use a clear protection glass on all my new lens. Unfortunately we were traveling through tall grass, briars, beach sand, boulders and bushes. We never knew when a subject might pop up so we tried to keep our cameras at the ready. Thanks for the kind comments.

One of my favorite beaches! Had a sailboat at Watch Hill for many years and anchored off Napatree a lot. Thanks for the photo and the memories.
