Ewwwu! Motor, you also used a wet cleaning method too, right? Boy, I do not want to test my cameras as I'm scared mine will look even worse if this is what yours looks like after cleaning.
I used dust aid and visible dust, the dust aid was about 25% effective. I havenot yet used a wet cleaning method, but trustme that is a vastly improved sensor it was significantly worse BEFORE the cleaning (I'm just not enitrely sure where those images are on my HD or I'd post them for you) the cleaning did work on the loose fresh dust, this is dust that is "welded" if not imbedded into the low pass filter.

Good, do try a wet system and I think you'll find a lot more comes off. Visible dust wasn't able to get some big sticky goobers off my Kodak's sensor, but the wet cleaning system from Kodak did get them all off.
Let us know how things are looking after you've done a wet sensor cleaning.
Full service NON trial photoshop CS# is finallymy computer! Wohoo!

In a nutshell I did the following:
Cloned out the power line
Cloned the boot in a new layer, darkened it, then painted it back in with a mask
Used a contrast mask on the background to make the fall colors stand out more. Masked out the Mini because the contrast mask just made noise in the black paint.
Applied a medium contrast curve
Used a warming filter only on the Mini to get rid of the cool blue hue.
Please let me know if my terse list doesn't make sense.
Cheers!
I looked there, DPS (IMO) seems more like a flickr group of how to use your camera, yeah once in a while there is a good gem there but there is far less information feedback etc on composition, which is where my focus is. Of course I'm also heavily bias to the blog over the forums as far as my use of it. And after visiting APN just about any photo exclusive forum I visit I almost expect that level of critque now
Kurt you'll have an article in the sunset thread in a little bit, around here the sky went from grey to black so I'll be using your photos with your remarks to explain what I mean.
Here's a bump and one for that landscape guy. (I've got some child/baby portraits from this trip too if you want to critique those) No MINI photos in well over a month
