Two More with the Big Stopper... Not as Good...

[D-B-J]

They came out alright, but I seem to be getting an excessive number of spots on the top halves of the images... is it from the filters? Dust on the lens? I know that shooting at small apertures and with long exposures can lead to the easier rendering of dust... but GEEZ! They are everywhere...

An example of all the spots... They drive me nuts! And there's so many small faint ones that limit how much clarity and contrast I can add...

Love the bridge shot.

I had the same dust issue, it took two cleanings to get it off. I used the rocket dust blower and a cleaning kit I got at the local photography store. I googled cleaning sensor's and read everything I could. Still terrified me to do it but it worked out.

Good to know. I've had it for almost 4 years and haven't cleaned the sensor once. Maybe that's my problem!

I have a picture posted somewhere on here with an owl shot. Because I was shooting into the sky, I could see the many many dust spots. After one cleaning, I thought I had it off, but nope, there was more.

It was easy to do, but it is true that my mirror would not lock up without a fully charged battery. I could have done professional cleaning, but I have the Nikon d80 and I've had it for many years. Figured I'd just give it a shot.

Really, not that hard.

As pointed out by Barb do make sure your battery is fully charged,you don't want the mirror to drop down while you are in there swabbing it. Nice Shots.

I don't know if it's just a Nikon d80 thing, but my mirror wouldn't lock up at all unless the battery was completely charged. I was down one notch and it wouldn't do it. I have to put it in the charger.

But this was my biggest fear too!

My canon 60D when locked up for cleaning if they battery becomes low during cleaning is suppose to beep for a warning.I have thousands and thousands of clicks and has not needed a cleaning yet with a swab but I do occasionally give it a rocket blower blast.
