Fun for all SLR owners.

Post your dust test shots here. Let's see who has (or has had) the most (and biggest) sensor dust spots.

Hmm...I had them once. Funny, since August I have had none. However, I also have a new and stricter routine when I change lenses. Before that, only had small ones.

Dang, and I just cleaned mine. I have had a piece which refuses to budge for a while now. The bummer is, fairly close to the center of the field.

There's no "date" implied for the test shots, they can be old. Just looking for the best of the worst, just for fun!

Oh no...wait a minute...I will have a few minutes after work before I have to go out - Public competition tonight and I have 8 shots entered. Anyway, when I first got the camera I was shocked when I saw the first sensor dust I ever saw. I believe I still have the pic somewhere. I thought I had photographed a bird it is so big and dark. I was paranoid the whole way home that it was so big I couldn't be able to get rid of it.

They're really not all that bad. I increased the contrast to +50 and EV -25 or so and did HEAVY curves to get them to stand out more.

btw: F20

Holy COW! Those aren't dust specs. They're huge irregular circles to me!!! :D
