1425825 2016-09-09 06:39:00 Greetings fellow PreesF1'ers
I am a participant in "Light Stalking" a photography forum, which I love being part of. For whatever reason, we are at cross purposes. One, contributor, Elin has posted this image

www.lightstalking.com

and asks whether she should remove the flies. Now, for whatever reason, others around the globe can see the flies, but my wife, other Kiwis cannot. We are obviously viewing the same image, because it is mirrored across
from Flickr to Light Stalking. As additional check the image on Flickr is entitled "Shall I get rid of flies". How can we see things so differently -- there is obviously an explanation, which eludes me (... and not the ozone layer !) ;-)

Help please - my sanity is at stake !!

Open it in Lightroom and highlight the sky in close up and they will appear,they can be removed in Lightroom,can't remember the feature to do it but I have not got it installed at the moment since I upgraded to 64Bit when I upgraded to Windows 10

1425828 2016-09-10 03:50:00 Yep, there are dots on the picture, and if you say they are flies then so be it. I'm not sure why the photographer feels it necessary to ask others if the flies should be removed, that's her prerogative. It depends on what the picture is intended to convey. If she has doubts about them then asking the question simply draws attention to the flies, given that many people apparently had difficulty seeing them. In that case, it's simpler to blip them out.

I must say that I would be very happy to get such a crisply defined shot, flies or no flies.

1425829 2016-09-10 10:58:00 Misty, that link needs to be followed in 3 steps to view the image at the full size. At full size (after clicking the image twice) you can see dozens of blue dots (flies) in the sky.
Are you looking at it full size, or in the smaller preview size?
