My Dirty CCD
CCD Camera

Image by kenny_lex
My dirty CCD on my Pentax K100D-Super, it become this dirty after an stupid accident with water inside the camera. I shall see how much it cost to let Pentax (service) clean the CCD.

I has not found any camera or photo shop in Stockholm (Sweden) that can clean it, and to clean it self is just expensive (320 to 600 Skr) for some few swabs and a tiny amount of cleaning fluids.

But I am happy that the camera is still working, and that the dust is not as visible at larger aperture (f3.5 to f8) as it is in this (enhanced) picture.

[365 Toy Project: 098/365] Manned Mars Mission Meets Mysterious Machine
Mars mission

I am really pleased with this photo. It’s not a great Photoshop job, but it has:

1. A photo taken on another planet – this is an actual shot of Mars taken by the Mars Rovers! Thank you NASA!
2. A horrible pun for TRP – Doctored Photos (get it? get it?)
3. A playful title (thanks for making it perfect, Sakurawind)

The background is a picture of Husband Hill on Mars, taken by the Spirit rover, and public domain! I told myself I’d have an actual alien planet in my 365, and now thanks to the Mars rovers I have both the spirit and the opportunity! Ha! I punned again!

The TARDIS here is a derivative work of a CC-licensed picture: TARDIS by World Of Oddy.

Mars is coming….
