All looks good Twerppoet. Was there any explanation as to how the fluff got into the camera?

The tech just summed it up as a manufacture fault. He didn't try to explain it. Then again, I'd already told him what it (probably) was, and seemed to agree; or at least not try and correct me.

I'd guess that the debris was introduced when the camera module was assembled, but was not in the path of the optics. Jarring or even a temperature change could have caused it to relocate to the sensor; where it seemed determined to spend the rest of it's pesky existence.
 
When I want to enlarge your pictures through the app, I get "Connection Error". I have to go to the website view to do so. :-(

I get the same, J.A.


The "problem" images are posted via Photobucket.
I expect the link through that site may be the cause.

So sorry. I thought the Photobucket pictures show more clearly as they have more MB's. You can enlarge them by spreading them with two fingers. I have to make the images really small for the forum app to accept them.

Any tips?

I simply go to website view to look at them. There they're already large.
I just was wondering why that happens to your pictures. The ones you posted some time ago were enlarging without any problem through the app.

Tips?
I'll borrow Harry Potter's wand and shout "Engorgio!" :-)

The app is a little squirrelly for me, and it get the connector error too, but I still get the image. However, I did find that what image I get depends on which photo I like on. And, it shows more than just the image I click on...depending on where you start, you can scroll through certain images in a thread. But I can always see the images in the port where I found the image.

I think photobucket, by default, downsamples all images (I don't remember what it downsamples to ATM). So, you can upload really large MP images and it will show the downsampled ones from a link here. You can see the originals if you go to the photobucket site, but you can't do that unless a link to the site is included with the image. I prefer not to include that link (I think I did post a few images with links until I figured out it was doing that and I configured PB to STOP IT!).
 
Orca's bowsprit with carved Aeolus blowing us favorable winds.

Aeolus

From 1911 Edition of an Encyclopedia

Definition: Aeolus, in Greek mythology, according to Homer, was the son of Hippotes, a god and the father of the winds. Aeolus was ruler of the island of Aeolia. In the Odyssey he entertains Ofysseys, gives him a favourable wind to help him on his journey, and a bag in which the unfavourable winds have been confined.

Out of curiosity, or with the idea that it contains valuable treasures, Odysseus' companions open the bag; the winds escape and drive them back to the island, whence Aeolus dismisses them with bitter reproaches.

According to Virgil, Aeolus dwells on one of the Aeolian islands to the north of Sicily, Lipara or Strongyle, where he keeps the winds imprisoned in a vast cavern.

Another genealogy makes him the son of Poseidon and Arne, granddaughter of Hippotes, and a descendant of Aeolus, king of Magnesia in Thessaly, the mythical ancestor of the tribe of the Aeolians.
