Swabbing

Diddlbiker encountered the problem that most DSLR owners will encounter after some time: dust on the sensor. Now, this is the point where nitpickers want to point out that it is not the sensor, but a piece of glass covering the sensor (aka 'high pass filter'), but the end result is still the same: nasty blobs on the pictures.
Getting a brush didn't get the job done. I could still see that friggin' speck of dust sitting their at my sensor, taunting me! Turn out that Copper Hill sells high-quality sensor cleaning kits for very reasonable prices!
There's still some dust on the sensor, but those are really tiny specks and you'll really have to work hard in photoshop to see them. But that big black blob in the middle of my pictures is gone at least.
