That is bad Project 365(3) Day 210a
This was supposed to be entitled “a cloudy day” - meant as a joke because these were the only clouds in a vast sea of blue sky. The picture was ruined though by that bloody hair!
This is definitely not something you want to see on your pictures because that hair was obviously lodged on the sensor of my camera.
In the old film days you might have got a hair like that inside the pentaprism or on the focussing screen but they would not show up on your photos. Digital cameras though have a sensor inside which records the pictures. Any dust, or in this case a hair, on it will come out on every photograph you take.
Compact cameras are sealed to prevent this from happening but in a single lens reflex the sensor is exposed every time the mirror swings out of the way to take a photo.
Camera manufacturers have devised clever ways to try and keep the sensor clean by vibrating it each time the camera is switched on and off. That wasn’t going to shift this hair though; I had to remove it manually with a very soft sable brush.
Thankfully the trick worked but it was a HAIRY moment I can tell you!
