Thanks for the pix... nice....

That photographer has to clean his camera's CCD/CMOS sensor.

All those black spots are dust on the sensor that shows up when you stop the lens down below F8 or so.....

dirty, dirty, dirty.....

:D

I think I'd give him a break, it was appalling weather nearly all weekend, I'm surprised there are not mud smears on the lens! or hail or snow....

Another photographer did manage to get some high quality pictures if you are interested.

I shot a surfing event last sunday in the Pouring rain. A deluge....
I had to clean the lens after each rider surfed.
I was very wet and cold...
It's tough, but you do it. As a PRO.

But, a dirty sensor has nothing to do with weather or outdoor conditions, or if something's on the lens for that matter.

Sensor's get dirty in the best of weather.
But, you should clean them from time to time.

One big mistake most photogs make is changing the lens with the camera on.
The sensor holds a charge and if there is dust anywhere near the sensor and you remove the lens, it gets sucked onto the sensor.

It's a simple thing really.

I'm not going to cut a PRO any slack.

If it was an 'enthusiast' just out taking some photos, I was just giving him some advice.

If a PRO shot this and submitted this to an editor for an assignment, he should get a talking to.

The least a shooter can do, if he has dust on the sensor is clone it off the image.

I never said those photos were not high quality, just the shooter should take some pride and clean his digital camera's sensor.

Because, when shooting at a small apeture to get a slow shutter speed, all those little dirt particles show up.

If he was shoot at f4, you wouldn't see any of those dirt blobs.....

Interesting to hear that the f makes the difference.

He's not a PRO, just an amateur taking shots for fun like me.

But, regardless of the level of photos it sucks big time to get that on the end results.

But I've seen pics with dust like that on the front cover of magazines. :noshake:

Erik,

Yes, as you stop the lens down, the dust on the front of the ccd/cmos sensor appears.

So, once a month, I put up a lens.
ANY lens will do.
Stop it down to f16 and shoot a white wall.

Then look for spots and clean the sensor accordingly.

Actually, the dust, depending on size will show up starting around f6.3 or so.

So, if you do slow shutte work and need small apetures, keep those sensors clean.

OR at least do a quick PS touch up of the dust.
It's easy to clone that stuff out.
Those photos could be fixed in a matter of a few minutes.

If a magazine has used a dirty sensor photo on the cover, the Photo Ed. should be shot !! :D
