My first tutorial -How to clean your camera’s sensor

I’ve finally completed my first tutorial and it is a video. So please enjoy.

I walk you through how to  clean the sensor on your DSLR as I clean my Nikon d80’s sensor.

I will say, since this is my first tutorial video, it does have a few minor video issues. Such as when I was more concerned about cleaning my sensor than noticing that the lamp was in the way of what I wanted recorded.  Luckily, I did move enough so you can see what it was I was doing in the end. If I ever need to clean my sensor again I’ll think about re doing the video then.

I’ll just blame it on the Google Glass for now as that is what I was using to record the video. I was lucky enough to know someone who lent me theirs to test some of the Google Glass features and I decided to use it for creating this video.

I obviously forgot that the video camera is a little above your eyesight level so you have to remember to look down a bit to get the same angle in the Google Glass recording. Hence the lamp in the way for a short time as it was just above what I was working on.

I hope to have more video and tutorial posts to come so keep an eye out for them.

The calm after the storm

Well looks like most of the forecasts were a little off on the snow totals, which is fine by me. The lower snow amount meant less time spent cleaning up.

Not looking forward to the cold temps that are coming tonight though. Spring begins this month, but from the weather we have had lately I think it is going to be a bit late.

We did get a nice sunset over the fresh snow cover we got today.

Here is a shot from my cell phone.

Winter just won’t quit here in Maryland

We are preparing for another round of winter weather here in the Mid-Atlantic area.

But it seems that no one can agree on how much we are going to get.  Below is snow predictions from 3 sources, Justin Berk, who does his own weather forecasting for Just in Weather #faithintheflakes  and the other 2 are local tv stations in Baltimore.

Will be interesting to see who was right. My point in all this is Mother Nature is Mother Nature, no matter how much we think we can predict her, until she does her damage, we just don’t know.

These predictions are from the 11pm news on 3/2, about 24 hours before the storm.
