not to be an ass. but you did... blow the body when the mirror was up right? not just by tkaing off the lens and blowing...

also when you blow .. have the camera body facing down.. so it falls down instead of just floating around inside... give that a try

oh yah.. thats what i did. :p sorry.. didnt explain too well.. :p hahaa. and yes i took off the lens and had the body facing down and a friend also told me to do the mirror lock-up and blow air in that too..

You need to do a wet cleaning with sensor swabs.

hmm.. where can i buy'em?

Lens and shutters

off topic : may i ask what lens and setting were used to take that?

i think you should first take a blower like a 'hurricane' or a 'rocket' blower, and blow at your sensor (place your camera into sensor cleaning mode or bulb mode). If the specks of dust doesnt dissapear, then go for a wet cleaning. I would suggest trying to blow it off first.

first 2 photos i used sigma 10-20 and the next 2 is sigma 24-70..
10-20 was i thnk 25sec exp and f11.. and the 24-70 was also around over 20sec exp at f9

i bought this pen for cleanin sensors at broadway camera.. i tried it already.. now its gone. hehe.. i thnk.. i have not tried it yet.. will try taking photos again with the same settings soon..

How much does it cost to get a pro to clean it? I'm afraid I'll screw it up somehow

About $50.

Where do you recommend?

In Vancouver? I wouldn't trust Camtex or vancam.

Nikon Canada or Sony Canada if you have their respective cameras. Canon, you have to send to Ontario. I can teach you how to do it, too. I clean my sensor whenever I need to.

^ Do teach.. I called Camtex. $75 to clean. FML!
