Updates From BetterPhoto

Jim Miotke's awesome Creative Confidence Webinar Weekend takes place August 13-14. In this virtual workshop, you'll learn techniques designed to help you realize your potential and say "yes" to your creative dreams! If you like to photograph foreign people and their culture, you usually breeze in and out of a village or town relying on luck to get good shots. This is not the way to do it, says BetterPhoto instructor Jim Zuckerman. Check out his pro insights and thoughts!



Photo Q&A

Manually Cleaning the Sensor
I have an older Nikon which does not have an automatic sensor cleaner. I have three spots on the sensor which the local Nikon dealer was unable to remove.
Has anyone had any success stories about using a liquid commercial sensor cleaner? I was thinking about using the products from Copper Hill Images.
Appreciate your feedback.

- William F. Collins
ANSWER 1:
Hi Bill, I clean my Nikons (D300, D700) using Sensor Swab and Eclipse, both from Photographic Solutions. I've never had a problem using them, and they work great.
