Islam symbol attempt ruined

Just a friendly reminder to clean your equipment.......

<~~~Pissed I missed the start of the moto gp race and screwed it up

is that the lens or sensor?

ciao998 · 07-19-2009, 10:04 AM

Not sure yet, lens me thinks. The filter was pretty clean but the actual lens was kinda dirty behind the filter. Cleaned that and I'll check it out again later.

It's a long expanding and retracting lens, maybe part of the problem since they suck and push air........I dunno, I'm still learning.

Last time I went and shot before this was in the Blue mountains, up dusty nasty roads. Plus I live in dry shitties, so........

judging from the photo, that looks like sensor dust.

did you know those are very easy to clean in photoshop?

Would you permit me to post an edit of this image? I ran it through Photoshop and it looks pretty good despite a lot of spots removed...

ciao998 · 07-21-2009, 11:36 PM

Yeah you guys can post what ya want

I dont ever mind

I know photoshop can remove them, but I just got photoshop and hav'nt learned how to utilize most of it yet, lol. It's a slow progression

Learning Photoshop is not a destination, but a journey.

This is what I was able to do with the spot tool in about ten minutes:

Oh yeah, NICE SHOOTING! Care to share your setup and EXIF?

I have my sensor swabs handy, im just too scared to try it myself. Ugh.

ciao998 · 07-22-2009, 09:18 PM
