How long has it been since you cleaner your cameras image sensor? For me, perhaps too long.

When was the last time you cleaner your image sensor?

I’m sure you would agree that your camera is a piece of equipment that you use for photography. Like any other equipment, a camera, especially in the case of any sort of interchangeable lens camera (DSLR, Mirrorless, some compacts, etc) where you can and probably do change the lens, requires maintenance to work at it’s best.

I went out with the family for an afternoon at the beach yesterday, and of course, despite not being there specifically for photography, I had my camera and decided, before we left that I would take a few long exposure shots.

Cleaning wasn’t a though that went through my mind when I put a few things in the camera bag and loaded it into the car.

It should have been.

Moonlight on the water.

Above is one of the shots I took. It’s nothing really all the special as I was just messing around, but the light of the almost full moon looked beautiful on the calm water and I thought I’d see if I could catch the feeling of it.
