I performed Open Heart Surgery last week (sensor clean)

[F.Gordon]

Does anyone want to buy a slightly damaged Canon 20D?
:rofl:

Actually... it was very easy. Long over due. Got tired of cloning out dirty sensor spots. I used the Visible Dust method. Charged a brush. Wore a painters mask to keep gunk from flying out of my mouth onto the sensor. Got it completely clean. I mean.... COMPLETELY clean.
:)

And now..... what I "might" enter for the Archie Contest. This pixie has a nostalgic signficance to me. It was my first contest entry that I withdrew and it became a non-entry. That was about a year ago, so to celebrate the anniversary... and to freak out intheflow by doing some "extreme processing"
:evilgrin:

(this was done using a 3-D filter that works pretty good on archie stuff. Old tourist snap I took with my Nikon Coolpix 950)



(and this using the 3-D filter with the F.Gordon Top Secret 6-Step funkydelilickious method)



I'm going through serious snap withdrawal. Haven't been out snappin' in like... forever. Doubt I'll be able to come up with anything new for the archie thing. If not the snap above I'll have to dig through my pile of pixie dung and see what I can come up with.
:hi:

Edit? Too many things to mention
