Thanks for posting this. The images are both amusing and amazing!

Though Li Wei states that the photos are not simply “computer montages,” I’m sure Photoshop or a comparable image-editing program is still used, if for nothing else than to remove wires, scaffolding, etc., from the photos. Heck, I think he might have even made some adjustments with Curves and Levels! ]]> Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:42:35 +0000 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48868&PID=530639#530639 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48868&PID=530638#530638 Author: Kakaku

Hey, thanks, I'll add this to the lens id table of the alphalensinfo program.]]> Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:32:54 +0000 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48796&PID=530637#530637 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47214&PID=530634#530634 Author: TangoJetta

The problem with all ethanol (alcohol) based fluids is that they are treated so people do not drink them and they are often scented, like the rubbing alcohols... No matter how well you swab, the thin film left that evaporates quickly may look immaculately clean, but there is a very small percentage of residue there...

For perfection, you need to use a cleaning fluid created to leave as little visible residue as possible...

Check this vid out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC9NM2yVVy4

I believe, even after a poor clean, it will still look clean to the eye, but pictures may suffer from tiny loss of detail and/or loss of contrast and colour vibrancy...

I've never regarded portraits as one of my strengths, so have been working at this field for a while now to improve. But hey, when you start at a low base-level the only way is up...

Here's a some that I think are showing signs of improvement

Thanks Roy

Yes I agree with that not to 'overcook' is the secrete I think. Even though I personally don't mind a bit of extra saturation in my shots I believe it adds punch. But I have plenty of work to do and lots of setting to play with to get this right.

Thanks Scott(aka Pat Melone)]]> Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:55:31 +0000 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=48801&PID=530629#530629 http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11611&PID=530628#530628 Author: seagr112
