Tag: sensor gel stick

Cleaning your camera sensor is not exactly the most exciting of topics, but correcting dust spots in Photoshop had recently driven me to the point where I really had to do something. A large portion of my work is captured in areas that out a lot of stress on the camera. Changing lenses in windy, mountainous terrain opens the possibility of tiny dust particles finding their way to the sensor. A simple dust blower can sometimes free up accumulated dust, however more stubborn particles require for the sensor to be properly cleaned.Camera manufacturers offer this service, with many people opting not to clean it themselves for fear of causing some expensive damage. Despite the great service that you can receive, this always requires some turnaround time where you’ll be without your camera, which was something I was keen to avoid. Having scoured the internet to read a host of reviews online, I opted for the eyelead sensor gel stick, which arrived this week. Following along with this video below, I was able to clean the sensor in very little time, removing a large percentage of dust with the first pass of the stick. A more thorough pass made it possible to remove any remaining particles, reducing the time needed to retouch an image in photoshop immensely.Any saved time is a blessing, and it’s these little things that can streamline our workflow allowing us to concentrate on the important things.https://youtube.com/watch?v=KVMIcytrh5A
