I just started photographing roller derby this year but have 30+ years sports photography experience. I've never used flash for the reasons you pointed out. I do hope more photographers get the message but I see a lot of inconsiderate flash use. Great article Steven.

]]> Comment on Dirty Sensor? Open Up the Aperture! by Brent Clarke http://www.stevengreenphotography.com/tips/dirty-sensor-increase-aperture#comment-179 Brent Clarke Tue, 23 Nov 2010 00:05:45 +0000 http://www.epmoments.com/?p=74#comment-179 Some good ideas here for people to escape possible sensor dust spots showing up on their images. Just a small addendum to your article, if shooting a DSLR (which is more likely if you are controlling issues like ISO, SS, Ap etc., than a fixed lens) you don't need specialized equipment. There are a number of companies that sell sensor swabs and cleaner fluid. I use Visible Dust (http://www.visibledust.com/) and the swabs and cleaner will set you back about $40. You can also pick up a Rocket Blower to initially blow out the area around your sensor and the outside of the camera body. One will run you between $10-$15 depending on size. http://www.amazon.com/Giottos-Rocket-Air-Professional-AA1900-Accessory/dp/B000XM12WU What IS critical is knowing how to clean around the sensor and actually cleaning the Low Pass Filter (the layer that covers the sensor), which many think is the sensor itself. Nonetheless, you want to do this correctly or you could cause serious damage to your camera. It really is very easy to do and there are all kinds of online tutorials on how to do this, but if you aren't comfortable doing it, then have a professional perform this service. At some point, the filter will need to be cleaned. Some good ideas here for people to escape possible sensor dust spots showing up on their images.
