Possible spectacular sunset in the UK

Tomorrow will probably be as boring as the election debate; this is the forecast but I don't believe a word of it.

In the Netherlands the sunsets would also be spectacular as the cloud is moving from north to south over the country. So I'm curious what to expect :).

Nice shot, Colin.

I was expecting the same from my friends across the pond!

This was from the March 2009 eruption of Mt. Redoubt, near Anchorage, Alaska. I'm about 375 miles north of Mt. Redoubt. The wispy clouds just above the horizon are aerosols mixed with a small amount of ash from the eruption.

OR "Good moaning" - I'm more of an 'Allo, Allo' fan myself. :o

Regarding dust; is this a coincidence. I went out to photograph some boats but found yet another 'no photography allowed' place in Barton Marina so went onto NMA AGAIN :eek:

But look at the dust and it will be quicker for me to buy a new camera than to have it fixed, so it is going to be a week or two before I'm back in action and it also sets me back a month saving for my dream camera :( But it can always happen.

Thanks Delboy :)

There's a bit of a write-up on it here if you're interested.

I just found out by stacking that those dots are not dust :eek: Dust on the sensor doesn't move does it.

Some can, but the easiest way to test is to simply stick the camera on Av mode - stop the lens down as far as it'll go (eg F22 etc) - manual focus - and then take a shot of something bland (cream coloured wall, blue sky etc) and then take a look at the result at 100% magnification in Photoshop (preferably moving the camera a little as you take the shot).

I already did that Colin but on manual f22. Here is the shot above and you can see very little dust but it hasn't been cleaned yet. I think they are swarms of flies. :eek:

Hi Steve,

Definately a few dust bunnies there - but unfortunately, down-sampling for display here will also mean that many of them disappear. You're gunna have to clean it ... resistance is futile! :)

Cheers, I've ordered sensorklear by Lenspen, so will be here soon and I will give it a blast of air from my genuine giotto's rocket blower extra large ect ect.

cheers :)
