Oh, and mirror-dirt can never be seen on a photo. Lens-dirt is also less likely or at least very obvious. My guess is dirt on the sensor, no big deal and inevitable with a dSLR. If you want to scare yourself: set the camera to f/32, take an out-of-focus pic of the sky and do an auto-levels in Photoshop on the picture.

Yes I know about that trick and noway I'll do it

Cleaning is very easy by the way, but that's something for another topic I guess.

I read tutorials and such but I wouldn't mind some tips from a "real" person

BTW, I also have another question for you, but to OT :arrow: PM

i end up with the same problem with long exposure high aperature photos... and im pretty sure its on the CMOS sensor

I have air tube, and that has gotten rid of the big pieces of dust.. anyway, i am curious if there is a better way?

Airtubes are the way to go. If it doesn't help, go to an art-supplies-store and get a good small nylon-brush, for like 10 bucks ("VAN GOGH 294 SELECTED FILAMENT - ROYAL TALENS" for example). For the first time, clean it very good and let it rest in a glass with some water/dishsoap-sollution for a while. After that, rinse it of with water again and let it dry completely.

Ok, now to using it: blow through the hairs with your blowtube so they get staticly charged. Use the brush to gently wipe your sensor and repeat if needed.

Or, if you don't trust that, go out and get a Visible Dust Sensor Brush, that is essentially the same but costs $100! There are also some wet sollutions like Sensor Swabs, but they should only be used if nothing else helps.

LOL, check the speedo now (thanks Pav for the idea and the job done):

I could say the shutter speed was more like 0.5 sec

that's cooler than seeing that lame 50 kmh

MartijnGizmo · 07-01-2006, 06:35 AM

I also did that in some shots.

Btw, your car is quite fuel-efficient at those speeds!

LMAO!

I posted these pics some months ago in other topics but I'd like to post them here again.
Nothing really special but I like them

Totally agree. But considering that my camera is "just" a Nikon Coolpix 4300 is not that bad

Do you think these are any good. Shot with a canon powershot on a pretty dull day. Im thinking of getting an slr and dont want to end up being useless with it so any tips on how they could be better would be good.

So do you think it would be worth getting an SLR.

A bad craftman always blames his tools!
