Who's a Goose

Arrh, well, that would be me.

Did three very careful sensor swipes before realising that the dust bunnies that just wouldn't move were spots on the monitor :oops:

Moral of the story: Always start with a clean monitor, and brain engaged :lol:

A lesson for all of us there Mark. Well, for some of us anyway. Did I say "us"? :wink:

the silliest thing I did was a sensor cleaning I did one night.
normally I use a clean blue sky to check for bunnies but I decided to use my old light box one night.

after many swipes where I was moving the crud all around the place, I discovered that it was on the light box and I was photographing that.

duh........
on the bright side I removed a super stuck bunny that had been on the sensor since day 1.
