Kali ... thank you for the challenge. Lighting and still life's are two things I really need to work on. In going back through your albums and your flickr I was reminded how much I love your creativity and unique approach to challenges, so I'd like to play to your strengths and challenge you to take your inspiration from a fairy tale, any fairy tale you choose, and create a fairy tale moment any way you interpret it.
@kali66 Are you scanning your negatives Kali? I have never had much luck with that. My scanner has a negative attachment but I haven't had a good result.
@jack4john my lenses are often very dirty but these dust spots are from the negatives, i have a very dusty house and i did not scan right away so they accumulated some, i kind of like it though, but i have spot removed some on faces in other shots just so it doesnt look like the person had food on their face!
