Damn dust!

I've got to go through more than 650 photos of a model shot against a high
key background and clone out spots because a little dust got on my sensor.
It's enough to make me seriously consider returning to film until digital
makers solve the dust problem.

Stop changing your lenses.

So next time you're about to do a big shoot like that, check for dust, and
remove it BEFORE the shoot.

Simple.

Film cameras never got past the dust problems so it may be a long wait. In
my bag of those days I kept a lens cleaner and I used it first thing in the
morning. Seems that if one is doing something important and doesn't prepare
for it it's a case of the poor workman blaming his tools.

Let us know when film makers solve the dust problem - I've been doing my
best for 38 years now and there is still dust on every slide and negative.

Wow! Like that is helpful as in H-E-L-P-F-U-L

Like u don know any better after the event and now it's like u hav an
audience crowing at U

Wow as in W-O-W-!

Hindsight is great and thank you for sharing your reflection James

FWIW and IMHO digital P&S has got things just right

DSLR has quite a bit to go yet IMHO

Like you won't clean the sensor before your next major commission - and your
reputation or service provision does not matter a hoot - extremely serious
WOW!

I am sure you will have tuned in DSLR users to a serious preparatory step -
well done m8

Please do not take previous comments to harshly at all

I always clean my cameras before a shoot. Dust gets onto a DSLR sensor when
changing lenses during a shoot. But being able to change lenses is pretty
much the point of having an interchangable lens camera.
