Message: <blockquote data-quote="hark" data-source="post: 830795" data-attributes="member: 13196">Today once again I set out for Tyler State Park after seeing someone on Facebook post a photo of Mill Dam ... the same dam that was supposed to be removed back in 2023 (I made reference to that in one of my previous posts).Although I was able to see the dam from an elevated level, I couldn't find access to be at its edge like I saw in the Facebook photo. And there were a lot of trees and brush between the dam and me which wouldn't have made for a remotely nice photo.So I headed to the other dam in Tyler State Park that is near the main pavilion. I used a 4-stop Neutral Density filter for this image. Honestly I wanted to take a 2-second exposure but wasn't able to stop down enough to do so. In one of my previous posts, I used a 10-stop ND filter. That would have worked much better here.The downside to stopping down the aperture all the way – f/22 in this case – is I realized my sensor is filled with sensor spots. And I mean A LOT! For some of you long-timers, you might remember the fiasco I had with my D600 and the infamous sensor spots attributed to that camera. Well ... today's sensor spots were WAY more numerous. But then again, I've never cleaned the sensor on this body, and I've had it for many years. Clearly cleaning the sensor is something I need to do. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😉" title="Winking face    :wink:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" data-shortname=":wink:" /> But first, I need to buy more sensor swabs. I'm not even sure if the liquid cleaner I used for my D600 is any good. I used that quite a few years ago. So new sensor swabs and cleaner is on my shopping list.[ATTACH=full]417055[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
