@skeddy Oh—that’s the other thing: use a tripod; then you can copy and paste the dust removal from one shot to the next :D

@skeddy (Also, how’s your camera’s self-cleaning? Check the manual—some work better if the camera’s pointed downwards during cleaning…)

@tyronem I read that one from cover to cover when I first got interested in XML/XSL. Was definitely worth it, in hindsight.

@skeddy I also had my sensor professionally cleaned once, at Calumet. Think they do a while-you-wait or next-day service, maybe. Bit pricey.

@skeddy Cool. Can you actually see them in normal photos? A handful of small dust spots are pretty normal, and you’ll never get them all.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to skeddy

@skeddy Yeah. Doesn’t *have* to be a long exposure, but deffo need a small aperture (f/16+), so it just tends to be long if you’re indoors!

Don’t stress too hard about minor imperfections on your lens’s front element. Here’s a “dust spot” I just added and..twitter.com/i/web/status/8…UN

@skeddy Almost certainly not. See my next tweet in a minute or so :D

@skeddy (Oh, also: use your lowest ISO. Doesn’t matter if it’s a 10-second exposure.)

@skeddy Spots on sensor will show up really obviously. Do you use Lightroom?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to skeddy

@skeddy What UV filter do we mean? The actual sensor surface?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to skeddy

@skeddy Set lens to manual focus, small aperture (f/16 or higher.) Snap something big and white (I typically use a ceiling) with lens…

Ah, the Hotwells Piper in fine form. I guess it must be a regular Burns Night party at Hope Chapel; I’m starting to expect him now.

Wasn’t that monument meant to go in the other way round? twitter.com/leoaw/status/8…

Easter eggs are in the shops, then.

Navigating the Harbourside Market & resisting the urge to club to death the giant snails crawling four-abreast in front of you.

@chubbybannister Yeah. You can buy kintsugi repair kits now. Wish I’d known the last time I’d broken a decorative bowl!

John Hurt. He played everyone. Everyone. And we believed them all.
