These are tremendous images Mike, I'm marvelling at both the lens quality and your skill to produce results as good as this. Hats off to you!

It just seems that no-one, except perhaps Steve Ledger, is offering an explanation of why his viewfinder isn't producing the image that he is expecting. See Nigel's comment:

'Fair enough if it's what you believe' etc., is this not suggestive of disbelief?

Lovely shot Gareth, I also like the shot of the housing estate, but I agree the view isn't as pretty!

What a great set Paul, you've nailed these.

Why is everyone doubting what the OP is saying? I don't think he would lie about this and it seems to me that the viewfinder is not representing correctly what the sensor is recording.

Ha Ha, you could say that! It's just limewash, has no effect on our music making abilities!

It really doesn't need cleaning at a pro centre, it's easy to do it yourself with a bit of planning and care. First thing to try would be a rocket blower to remove the hairs. If this doesn't do the trick, get some Pecpads and make swabs with lollipop sitcks squared off at the end, wrap the pad around the end so it has some thickness and very lightly dampen (not wet) with ispropyl alcohol. Wipe across the sensor, ensuring you cover all of it, be firm but not rough, ensure no streaks are left (if it too wet it will leave streaks).

I'm sure this will have lit the blue touchpaper with several people on here, but it really is down to a bit of common sense and care. I have never damaged any of my sensors.

Hi Louise

These are great, I love the colour one of the church with the moon above! I agree to some extent with the over-saturation, it is particularly the yellows that need toning down a bit, if you could do this the processing would be very good.

Best wishes

Hi Everyone

I thought you might be interested to see the 'finished product'. This is the first room in our cellar renovations to be finished and we wasted no time getting the gear in and letting my son Ben give it a try. We have Drums, Guitars / Guitar Amps, Bass Guitar / Bass Amp, PA System, Effects Processors, Keyboard, Mic's and Mic Stands, so all we need now is some people who can play!




BTW, there's an open invitation to any of you in the Sheffield area who are musical - AndrewA I'm talking to you!

Cheers
David

It's more than just passable Andrew, it's a lovely shot, full of interest and character, one to be proud of I would say.

Regards
David
