Dust spot, around the middle of the left side of the frame.

I like the night shots.

Yeah, I caught that too as soon as I opened them up on my computer. I'm having my sensor cleaned next week. Too scared to do it myself. These had no post processing, so I could probably brush those out in Photoshop.

clone tool FTW!

Cmike2780 · 05-18-2011, 05:22 PM

Anyone here clean the sensor (low pass filter) on their own? I saw a kit for $90, but I'm hesitant. How much do camera shops usually charge for sensor cleaning?

wilsonp · 05-18-2011, 05:42 PM

I assume it shows up with other lens so is on the sensor.

If the dust isn't stuck, you may want to try a rocket blower or a plastic foot pump (press lightly) to try to blow the dust off. Canon recommends you don't put the nozzle inside the camera, to ensure you don't accidentally scratch the sensor.

HKYStormFront · 05-18-2011, 06:01 PM

yea i've heard good things about the rocket blower, i'd like to get one myself eventually

Cmike2780 · 05-18-2011, 06:58 PM

Yeah, it showed up even after switching lenses.

It's like $10 for the rocket blower. I'll give that a shot before I take it in to the shop.

HKYStormFront · 05-18-2011, 07:08 PM

i've heard some people say it's better to hold the camera so that the sensor is facing the floor when doing that, that way when it stirs up the dust most of it will fall out thanks to gravity. i dunno tho, seems like if it's strong enough it should just blow it out. might be one of those "can't hurt" things do while cleaning it

Parkerman · 05-18-2011, 11:15 PM

Yea, you won't damage your sensor with a blower... That's the first thing to do if you see dust on your sensor. Rarely is it ever anything more than that. When changing lenses I am always more worried about getting the end cap on my lens rather than getting the other lens on the body. Reason being is that you can easily blow dust off your sensor... You can't clean the inside of a lens if you get dust in it.

They do say to face your camera down when you are doing that, which is true because of gravity, dust falls, if its facing up you are more likely to get dust in it. With that being said, you're going to get dust in your camera no matter what.

Buy a blower [ I have a rocket blower, very nice] and blow that mess out.
