Back from my little trip to the beach, settling back in, and getting pictures off my memory card. It appears, however, that I forgot the fundamental rule of taking pictures – make sure your lens is clean. There are a handful of dust spots on every image I’ve reviewed so far. For some images it’s no big deal, but for a lot, they are very distracting. Once I saw them, I hauled the lens out, and there they were, plain as day. A through cleaning and a spot check later, I’m happy that I got them all. Still a little mad at myself for taking all these pictures without cleaning the lens first.
