yea it's a good idea to keep the camera face down when changing lenses too^

Dsphoto · 05-19-2011, 07:13 AM

The dust on the sensor, if it doesn't move between frames, is probably stuck.

Remember that there is a shutter moving at rapid speed, moving the air near the sensor and causing strong vibration.
If it looks like a blob a blower will not remove it. The biggest problem is oily dust which leaves blob shaped residue on the imager filter. This can only be removed with a physical cleaning, best done by a professional.

How does dust get there in the first place? If you never change your lens you will still get dist. Some of it comes from within the camera due to wear but most comes from outside. Your lens is an air pump. WHen you zoom or focus air, and the dust in it, is drawn into the lens. This is attracted to the sensor due to the sensors charge. So if this is how most dust gets into your camera you have to address how the dust gets onto your lens.

The main culprit is your camera bag. Put your bag in a strong afternoon shaft of light and give it a bang (without cameras in it). If you see dust particles coming out of it replace it. You can try to clean it but this probably won't help. The foam padding in the bag starts to break down after a while which generates dust.

I saw this first hand, a customer bought a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (early in the morning) for $8000, brought it home, put it in his camera bag and went out shooting. He came back that afternoon with complaining of dust on his sensor. It all came from the bag. The store sold him a new bag and cleaned his cameras and lenses and the problem went away.

And back after a long hiatus!

Here are 2 new shots I just took in one of the local parking structures. They help capture some of the darker, urban, city feel versus the typical Florida palm trees and green grass. Enjoy!

dark and moody! try black and white!

6spd · 05-31-2011, 04:38 PM

i did a black and white, but i like these better, never been crazy about black and whites.

HKYStormFront · 05-31-2011, 04:58 PM

i like a good black and white shot, but i don't do it all the time, in fact, because i shoot cars almost exclusively, i hardly ever use the B&W tool

wilsonp · 05-31-2011, 08:31 PM

Hope you don't mind, but I played with B&W & sepia conversion, crop and rotation a little - I think you're right, it is hard to make a good B&W from this one:

Trying to get back into using my D90 more. First photoshoot in awhile. It was midday and I was battling the sun. Felt SUPER rusty, this is about all I got....

6spd · 07-11-2011, 12:50 AM

mid-day is tough, but that shot is very cool.
