No f'n with anyone. I just figured, that if I lost three hours of my time, I may be able to offset some of that, by having all of you loose 30 secs....
Eh, make that kstarnes....
was almost correct. Yes, the sensor on my dSLR was dirty and I decided to clean it. The first images shows a few black specs in the lower left corner. The middle image, shows how you can actually put dust on the sensor while cleaning it. The third is the result of three hours. It isn't perfect, but if the two remaining 'noticeable' dust particles do show, I can Photoshop them out.
Tip for dSLR owners.... When changing lenses, point the body down before removing the lens from body and have the next lens ready to install. Most dust has a tendency to 'fall' not 'rise'.
Most current dSLR cameras will have a self-cleaning mode.
