What’s Up?
I must be getting pelicanned-out, at least in the afternoons. I took off for the. second afternoon it a row! I am however looking forward to meeting Patrick Sparkman at the cliffs early this morning, Saturday, January 25, 2020.
I fly home early this coming Monday.
Cleaning Up: Part I
You can find all the items I talk about in the video in the BAA Online store here.
ps: be sure to see Part II of this video immediately below: Cleaning Up — Duh!
Cleaning Up — Duh!
Well, I left out some important stuff about sensor cleaning so I added Part II. You can order your LensPen and other sensor cleaning accessories in the BIRDS AS ART OnLine Store here. The upper left corner of the sensor of my a9 ii had gotten pretty bad so I had a go of it with a LensPen and missed only a single speck. I will get after that this afternoon. IAC, the improvement as seen in an f/22 sky-test was dramatic. (Sensor cleaning details and the f/22 sky-test instructions are included with the purchase of a LensPen.
Comments and Questions
Comments and questions are of course welcome.
Thanks for all the tips. How often can you use the lens pen before replacing it with another one? How do you store your lens pen where it stays clean? I keep mine in a sealed sandwich bag.
A very long time. I think that I once wore one out. But with each generation of cameras, the auto cleaning has improved and the cameras have become less susceptible to dust ….

Artie, thanks for the informative video. This is off-topic, but how did you choose which of your (many) images to display on the walls? They’re quite varied.
Hi Jeff. YAW. Just lots of old favorites. It’s fun to consider starting from scratch now … In part because I have had such a blessed life.
with love, artie
Artie:. Are mirrorless cameras more or less susceptible to dust on the sensor than DSLRs, or no difference?
More susceptible so you need to be more careful.
with love, artie
Thank you.
