Spittle bug - cleaned up photo and why!

[Paul Iddon]

I really need to sort out my sensor - it's riddle with dust and badly needs a clean. Below you can see what I end up with after removing dust spots in Photoshop - this is a spittle bug taken this evening:

Looks OK doesn't it?

Now see what it started off like!!!

Sensor cleaning kit arriving Tuesday!

Cracking image Paul,
but yes I guess it does need a bit of a scrub. That there sensor!

Thanks Chris.

I didn't realise how bad it had got until yesterday...

Did the first sensor swab clean today - will do another tomorrow - but already there is a massive difference.

No dust spots cloned out in this one - compared to the one just above they're light years apart!

Looking much better Paul

Yea, and another scrub tomorrow will help.


For the cost of the swab and solution I might do it more often!

Nice work Paul, your sensor cleaning is "spot" on

The bug is up to your usual high standard, well done.

I thought the focus is touch shy of where it can be, but overall it'll do.
