Photography  /  Camera

It’s not often that I get annoyed or frustrated with my DSLR, but on occasions after I’ve come home from an enjoyable shoot, downloaded my images and began editing that I realise my camera’s sensor is covered in microscopic dust, dirt or hair.

The auto sensor cleaning mode found within most DSLR camera’s aren’t very effective at removing unwanted intruders from your imagery, but fortunately removing dust isn’t rocket science. A little knowledge and the right tools will have you capturing dust-free, crystal clear images.

Now, it goes without saying that to be truly successful in photography, one must master the art of exposure or at least have a fairly good understanding of how it all works.

If you’re unsure as to the difference between shooting in RAW vs JPEG format, things can start to get a little confusing…
