Ok, so I was all ready to capture my blue ribbon this week until I decided to clean my camera. There was this one little strand of lint in the shutter somewhere so I take off my lens and begin to clean. 30 minutes later there was 20X the amount of dirt on my camera from me "cleaning" it.
Thank gawd too! I woulda hated to go aainst some of these photos. Some of these are just amazing! I'm not even going to start voting yet. I need time to clean my camera some more.

Out of curiosity, what were you cleaning it with? I want to make sure I never buy whatever it was you were using :)

I have this cheapo camera cleaning kit. I have compressed air and that didn't work, so I took one of those lint-free pieces of paper and dabbed some of that lens solution and tried to clean around the inner camera. The problem was when I tried a q-tip. Oops! hehe... got most of it out, but I think there is some dust in there still. It's time for it to be serviced anyhoo.

| Pehaps it's time to revive the thread where people offered suggestions of achieving that soft-focus look (since the blur filter wasn't allowed); I think smearing Vaseline on the lens was the winning choice... |
