Good series David, still I haven't seen a pseudo scorpion myself ..

Paul.

Hi Paul thanks for that. It is very easy to see a pseudo scorpion just leave some pieces of wood around your garden (disclaimer this can cause problems with wives) and check them every few days and you will soon find them. In the summer there can be masses of ants so be careful.

I like the Pseudo scorpion with the dust bunnies the best.
A nice set Dave.
PS, I am being light heartedly sarcastic about the dust bunnies ;-)

Thanks that is annoying I will have to clean the sensor and fix some photos.

I removed 119 before running it in NR to smooth out the background a bit more...

Now that looks so much better and you have sharpened it up, what an improvement.

Thanks for that was that with photoshop? I had tried in Corel btw, what is NR?

 

[Paul Iddon]

I cloned the spots out with the clone tool in Photoshop CC.

NR is noise reduction - done in Topaz Denoise (Check Facebook ads or YouTube videos about it to get a good discount price).

Thanks for that I have thought about getting not sure if it useful or not but an idea do you use it with raw files or jpegs?

 

[Paul Iddon]

I have the complete package so I use Lightroom, export as TIFF's into Photoshop CC 2021, and the topaz plug-in.

I save 4 files, the full TIFF, a reduced size Tiff, a PNG, and a jpeg.
