Not quite camera birthday

[ewx]

I've had my camera nearly a year. It's had two significant events in its life a week or so early, though.

Firstly, it's rolled over the picture number: I've now take more than 10,000 pictures. I've only kept a fraction of those, though.

Secondly I'd noticed on some recent pictures a black blob in a consistent place. A quick experiment showed that it was independent of lens (though one of the lenses I tested with did need a clean anyway). So, it was time for the dreaded sensor cleaning. This was less painful than I expected and, crucially, appears to have actually worked.

I do have something of a shoot first, ask questions later approach. But, well, "film's cheap" l-)

I think it's more that you take your camera out a lot more, I hardly touched mine last year and I'm taking it out less and less. I'm not sure why exactly.
