I hate cleaning the sensor on a DSLR … there you are doing the equivalent of scraping a spatula across the surface of something tiny yet sufficiently expensive that it would cause me a heart seizure if I were to scratch it. Not uncommonly I clean my sensor only to find out that the dust spots found in the raw images are still there! However this time I seem to have removed a good amount of grime.

Took the newly cleaned camera out with my fisheye lens around Old Portsmouth to make some images. Not a bad little stroll :-

On Wednesday (kind of late to post this, but as nobody reads it anyway, who cares?) afternoon I returned to Arundel and more specifically Swanmore Lake to make some images there. Just walked around the lake with a short detour along the long trail north.

It seems my memory of the place had been distorted by time, and the low level of water in the lake was a bit of a shame but I may have come up with some good images (they haven’t been processed as yet). Unfortunately I missed the dramatic sky that was on show on the train back … an oil slick spreading across the sky, white clouds highlighted against huge black clouds and small black clouds highlighted against whispy white skies.

And I managed to damage my foot again … am I jinxed ?

Finally went out for a quick shoot down Old Portsmouth for the first time in ages (my psoriasis is sufficiently bad to discourage walking). Probably not much in the way of great images (I haven’t downloaded them as yet) but it was good to get out there. Unfortunately I’ve further damaged my foot by getting a stone wedged in my sole 🙁
