Hi Ed — Thanks! The spot problem seems to come and go. Sometimes they’re there, and sometimes I don’t find them at all. Of course, backgrounds make a big difference…
I’m a master with the clone tool, though, when one shows up in a bad spot!
The reason I asked, is that for Fathers Day I got a special present – a “Sensor scope” and cleaning kit from Delkin. I looked at the sensor on my 5D, and sure enough I found the specks. I then used the mini vacuum w/brush to remove them. Sensor now clean!

I will be posting a review of SensorScope on my blog tomorrow, and it will include an “after” shot. You can find it on my Flickr page if you want to see it early. Needless to say, I eliminated about a half-dozen annoying specks from the sensor yesterday.

Most kids at her age aren’t so uninhibited when a camera is pointed in their direction (mine sure wasn’t!)

It’s that time of year again, when the heat here has reached the point that I’m about to melt, and my patience with the Gulf Coast is exhausted. Time to get away. I expect to be back the third week …
For the next few days, the “poli” will be in abeyance as the “mom” takes Adorable Child to her first state-level swim meet. I’ve promised to contain myself (as in… not cheer loudly, or stand so close that it’s obvious …
From almost the first day we arrived here, there’s been an enormous waterbird stalking our pond — no doubt because we have an abundance of these: Or should I say, we had an abundance. Daily visits to the smorgasbord have …
Love those raindrops! And, the shot of the two girls is really nice, too.
Just curious, did the spot problem you were having go away?

Wow, Ed. Nice gift! Maybe we need to have another “get together and see if we can figure out the spots on Polimom’s camera”….?
LOL!!!!
