I guess you are right with that, Andre! If it doesn't damage the binoculars then it must be also OK for the lens.
Thanks again for the advice!

I had another thought on cleaners Nick. Most likely the best and safest thing to use would be the kind of lens cleaner kit that you get from an Optometrist.

Thanks a lot for that info, Andre! So I go now for such a static free lens cloth. There are similar things like Windex sprays here too, but I'd use them only in case the cloth alone wouldn't do the job.

Hi Nick,
I think I have used a light spray of Windex when I noticed a slight build up from finger smudges. But mostly just a static free lens cloth.

Yes, the dog is not the main thing here - it's the man but of course we don't let him know, ey? ;-)
Since you referred to scanning, well, another one of my main problems now. Do you know of any possibility to remove the dust from the glass plate of some scanner in such a way that it doesn't immediately return to where it thinks that it belongs to? ;-) Many talk about antistatic fluids and the like, but I don't know if I should do that and I am a bit too afraid perhaps that all those chemicals might ruin the glass plate with time.
Cheers,
Nick

Thanks Nick,
I was happy with most of this image, but as you say the black dog is probably just a bit lacking in detail in some areas. Not a critical problem in this instance though.
This one was scanned from a print.

It's a very good light and detail, ANdre, but above all I admire the very natural smile. It is not like wanting to pretend some kind of theater Diva, or VIP or anything, but just the man and his dog. I find especially well done the face of the man, and the separation by selective focus from the background. The dog got a bit too dark here and there, but I gues that it was mainly the man you wanted to capture, or am I wrong?
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Ivan,
You can always count on getting some good shots from people and their pets. I remember why I took this shot. It was because one of our instructers gave us an assignment to go out on the street and find people whith their pets. He said, "Ask permission to take a photo, and see what reaction they have." Most people will not realize that they are as much the subject as the pet is.

Thanks Kevin,
There is always something magical about waiting those three minutes over the developer tray. Especially when you just know it is going to be "the keeper." Digital has certainly brought some old photos back to life though.
