10D is STILL a good camera.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

The camera age doesn't really matter anyway. I use my FG and FM2 more than I do my D50.

Those all look pretty good. A little over exposed on my screen though. You might try adjusting your light sensor to compensate....

It's dust on the sensor.

That happens to me sometimes. I take my lens off blow gently into the body of the camera and release the shutter really quick. That usually does the trick and if not use a longer shutter speed and see if you can VERY GENTLY get it off the image sensor with a q-tip. I can't stress very gently enough, hardly touch it.

Personally I wouldn't touch it at all. buy a blower, not condensed air but a blower thing u squeeze. a big rubbery one not the cheap small plastic ones. works for me.

[wardlarson]

yeah dont touch it
if you #### up it's gonna cost almost as much as the camera is worth to repair it.

[Kazaam]

if you cant stand it but don't want to touch the sensor you can easily edit it out if you have photoshop or another editing program, just use the rubber stamp tool

That's better advice actually, don't touch it, it's really risky to touch the sensor. If you don't have a blower just blow in there with your lips, make sure they're very dry.

That last one is my 2nd panoramic, I think it turned out a lot better than the first.

As you probably guessed by now, I was in the mountains when I took these. And I saw a caterpillar and ate it in my hotdog bun. Yum.

[GPymp]

If a "blower" wants to touch my "sensor" I am going to let it happen.


Here is a pic from this morning. Love the big hair and the big trees to match. Story on my Flickr site.
