THIS WEEK'S TIP Twilight Time! By Susan and Neil Silverman
For everyone who wants to do some "nighttime" photography, try photographing just after the sun sets, but before the sky goes really dark. There will be a beautiful colored sky. Really black dark sky is often not as beautiful or successful as that very dark royal-blue sky, post sunset.

Photo Q&A
Sand in the Camera? Hi all, I was recently at a beach and accidently some sand got on the camera. Mostly it was stuck around the lens base where it is attached to the camera body. I have brushed out the sand as much as I could. Are there any precautions I should take before removing the lens? It's a Canon 7D and an L lens so you can imagine my concern. Thanks for your help, Sobia P.S. The camera has been working fine. I have taken the images after the incident and downloaded on my computer.
ANSWER 1: A camera and lens are a light-tight fit so it's doubtful that any sand made it to the inside.
There are other concerns that should be considered though. There may have been invisible particles of salt residue within the sand that may cause corrosion. To be sure, I'd take the camera and lens to a local repair shop for a thorough cleaning. - Bob Cammarata
