dSLR: Bye bye dust bunnies

After shooting pics at a really small aperature, I noticed dust bunnies in my shot. :(

Much web searching, talking to the pro shop dudes and digi-photo book skimming here's what I've found.

1. For large dust particles, use a hand held rocket with the mirror flipped up to dislodge some of the dust.

2. For those more problematic dust bunnies checkout:

Visibledust makes some fine products as well.


Now to put this knowledge to test... wish me luck.

Google thinks i'm a Virus!!!

Just doing some research on a couple of registry keys: notably HKCU\SessionInformation and this popped up. Google thinks i'm a VIRUS *shock*. I hope Anti-Viruses don't come by to clean me out ;^)

Photo editiing: Want to fix barrel distortion?

Ever have those pictures that just don't quite seem right, how they seem distorted. Well I came across an interesting DPreview Article that guides a person through, to correct this aberration.
