Whatever, it’s good to have the necessary plans in place, along with some ideas and the like, to see how it all goes.

This particular project is going to work on a fairly tight time-scale - I want to get the first version and series done in the next five to six months in order for things to be ready by the end of 2008. It’s going to be interesting, that’s for sure.

So before we went to the Lake District, I invested in a tool to clean the sensor, the Visible Dust ‘Arctic Butterfly 724′ - stupid name, but decent product. It’s just a small(ish) brush that creates its own anti-static charge in order to pick up as much dust as possible, but it came highly recommended by a number of sources, so that’s what I went with.

And so far it seems to have done a good job on the sensor. A couple of swipes and it’s clean, with no more dust specks on any images. Plus, of course, now I’ve got the kit I’ll be able to clean it before it gets disgusting again.

My photos are now being used on a couple of travel sites, with the most recent one being a feature on Irish round towers on a Dutch travel site.

I’m just pleased to see my photos getting used, to be honest. It means I must be doing something right after all…
