How comfortable are you each time you put your camera through the airport scanner. I am aware that sensor when expose to high cosmic rays such as traveling on an airplane can actually cause pixel to go dead. In such event, how often you go and check your camera for dead pixel?

I am going to ask the opinion of the experts in this forum. I have a number of small spots on my sensor which if I looked real carefully will appear in the photographs. Frankly, it does not bother me so much when I look at the photograph overall. Cleaning sensor on my own is not something I...

Earlier this year I took a short trip to Kinmen. This is a small island off Taiwan Main Island and it is closer to Mainland China than to Taiwan. It is also a place with a rather interesting history. Back in the early 50s, there was a period where China fired mortars almost every day across...
