Picture of the Day

[ANP !!!]

Amazing shot Maxxx, looks like a traditional palace. Where is it ??

Dust on lenses doesn't show in photos. That spec is on the sensor. Do you hold the body, mount side down when changing lenses, to prevent the dust?

I think that's a good idea, mounting the lens with the Camera mount facing down, thanks I will do that from next time.

The last i checked there was not a single spec on the sensor, Dunno how the dust gets on the pics, There are 2 dots on the lens though which are not coming off and they are from the outside.

I think I will make a trip to the local camera store and ask for some cleaning kit.

[OT] safe to just use a blower and blow into the body?[/OT]

Its safe unless you blow it from a distance, since static electricity generating on the tip of the blower can cause some problems. Just keep the Mount facing down so dust falls down easily.



@Chicken Patty : You don't need a DSLR for getting great pictures, there are several pictures on Flickr explore and interestingness that are shot from a P&S. It your way of shooting and using the available light that gives life to the picture. A newbie with a D700 or Canon 5D MKII won't necessarily shoot better pictures then you with a P&S.
