Two Birds Getting Ready to Clean the Sky

Blowing the sensor with a bulb type air blower was not sufficient to eliminate dust. Blowing dust around inside the camera actually made the problem worse. The cleaning method that worked best for me is described in detail in "The Pixel Sweeper"

I recommend clicking on the PDF file button at the top right. It's easier to read.

 

Two Birds Getting Ready to Clean the Sky

 

The dirty sky before cleaning the Canon 30D DSLR Sensor. There are two birds in this frame. so I didn't process the image to make the dust spots appear black. When viewed large, the dust particles appear pale blue against the sky and clouds. The dust particles are on the glass plate sealing the sensor chip underneath against dust and moisture.
