Declare war on Dust!
After weeks of extreme heat and a shorter period of extreme rainfall,
it finally got better today. I decided to go out and take some pictures.
I had to, it was just too long ago.
In all my enthousiasm, I briefly forgot that I have some dust on my sensor. Again. Ofcourse it is inevetable, but it can ruin many Hallmark / Kodak moments. After the last time, I decided to let some company clean my sensor. (see “Sensor Cleaning“)
I stumbled across this site a while back: chipclean (in Dutch) It’s a thirty minute drive, but I’ll make an appointment. For 30 euro’s they’ll clean a 1.6X sensor, a 1.0X sensor will cost you 40 euro’s. The frontchamber, chip and sensor will be cleaned in a dustfree room using ionisised air. This will keep the dust from re-attaching to cameraparts.
A clean camera is one, keeping your lens clean is the other. You have all sorts of lenses, some are kept clean easier that others. With the camera came the EF-S 18-55 kitlens. After my photoshoot today, I think I’ll toss it in the air and blow it to pieces… This is what came out of the cam and this is what I managed to make from it afterwards.
