Fluff Bunnies

Postby Dougie on Sat Jul 16, 2005 10:48 am

wow my second post and already asking for help!!!!
Need help.
Due to work commitments my D70 has been on the shelf for about a month. Last night I was gettting my gear ready to go to a social touch football competition and take a few shots when I notice a little dot on a test shot. Took a couple of shots of the ceiling and it appears I have a dust bunny lurking around in my camera just waiting to pounce. Is there anyone in the CQ area that could lend me some cleaning equipment until the gear I have ordered arrives.
Please help
Doug

Doug,

If only I lived closer, would have been happy to assist. BTW: What cleaning stuff did you order :?:

Doug, try an air blower ( a bulb like one), nowhere near as good as fluid but often is succesful. Not sure if anyone is nearby, I probably would have noticed as I have a property in Gladstone so the name would have rung a bell.


Do not use a can of air, the propellant can wreck the sensor etc.

If all else fails use the clone tool in PS after the event :wink:

Perhaps couple members in the area can help you out. I know we have some members around or nearby your location.

What I have ordered is the cleanskies sensor cleaning brushes and Sensor swaba and pec pads.
I already have a good rocket air blower and it refuses to move the litlle bugger. Was considering getting a can of CO2 but this place on a Saturday is useless for shopping for that kind of stuff. Will have to rely on photoshop for the time being.
Thanks everybody for there help
Doug.
ps If you are ever coming this way drop me a line and we will catch up.
