This rose took a little more work to have presentable:

The Red channel was a bit saturated and I used Nik Software's Viveza to make the adjustment using a single control point.

Life without IR blocking filter goes on

Having gotten comfortable blowing the glass particulates out of my SD14, see Broken Glass in my SD14, I decided to give it a try.

To color compensate my SD14 for situations where I intentionally shoot with the IR blocking filter removed, I previously picked up a LDP XNite CC1 Filter to easily switch between IR and visible in situations where I don't want to open the SD14 to the environment.

Here is little Rose:

now just over 2 months old, and weighing over 60 lbs, having her manditory TV time nap.

Ever see a Horse sleep of their back ?

Rose does all the time. She'll want to come in the house and head straight to the TV room where she'll want my friend and I to sit next to her, with the TV on, as she takes a 2 hour nap. I wish the SD14 could shoot video because Rose is a sight when she goes up and down the stairs between the first and second floors.

So far, all seems good with my SD14 and the imager dust has been remedied.
