It's time to spring clean the cameras...

Good morning,

Hello another Friday that means almost weekend for most of you.

This is my contribution to #marketfriday by @dswigle , good morning Denise .

Before i start with the technical story some tulips from the garden first .

Sony A6000 + Sigma105mm Macro

When you use a DSLR or System camera and you change your lens a lot like i do , the chances of getting dust on your sensor is there.

If you don't clean it you end up with a lot of grey / black dots in your pictures
like this :

Every white dot is some dirt on the sensor and needs to be removed by hand from each photo, over time they grow and grow.
And without cleaning it up in lightroom the photo would look like this :

Sony A7II + LAOWA ultra macro lens

So this week i decided to deal with them and orderd some goodies to clean this up and some other things that i needed for my photography.


One box filled with goodies ...

One Flash sync cable to use with my Miops Smart triger or Miops Splash unit

A box of Full framecleaning swaps for my Sony A7II camera sensor

And finally a blower to get dust from camera , lens and sensor.
This is always the first one to use for cleaning the sensor , the swaps are to expensive to use for every little thing you think you see .

And after cleaning the sensor it looks much better, only a handfull of dots remain.
Read the manual of your camera on how to proceed with this , you don't want to damage your sensor after all.

and this is what it looks like in the end :

I have never attempted more than blowing it off. I cannot believe the white spots I can actually see. Tell me, the first time you did this, weren't you afraid you would do it wrong? Or is it not as complicated as I think?

Do you know the difference in price, doing it yourself or sending it in? Thank you!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday

Hi Denise thank you for stopping by , if i bring my camera away to a store to clean it they charge me
€ 39.95 for my aps-c camera the small one and for the Full frame camera they charge me € 44.95
that is € 84.90 for both cameras , the items i bought are a lot cheaper and alllow me to clean them more often for the same price.

I wasn't really afraid to do something wrong if things did go wrong i woulld have had a good excuse to buy a new upgrade 🤣🤣
