Autumn cleaning

Ever since my trip to the deserts of Jordan my camera had dust particles on the sensor. Plenty of them. But somehow I never came around to cleaning it, mostly because I was scared of doing it. Now the camera is mostly used for documenting the renovation of our new house, which means more dust. I finally reached the point when I could no longer tolerate the spots on every single photo.

OK, some of the spots are on the wall, but the majority is actually on the low-pass filter in front of the sensor. A plain white wall looks like a teenager's skin.

You know what? Cleaning a sensor is very simple. It took me less time to clean it than to write this post.
