Do you use your camera in dusty areas?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

D70 in a coal mine!

It did not get one spot of dust on the sensor and there were a few lens changes over the 5 days on site.

Just lucky I guess.

I've never used mine in an evironment that dusty, but i did use it at a phosphate mine and many many times in a sea-salty environment. It's still in good nick. :) (Except it's at Maxwells right now :) )

Well, as you can figure with my pics most of the time i am in a dusty place whether it be at Moto Cross or speedway so mine does cop a bit of it but i try to take the blower with me and give it a dust off now and then i also have a art brush in my box of trix, 60 ltre plastic bin so when i have done for day or nite before i pack gear awy i go over it with the brush first then a blow just to get all the dust i can off.

Sensor on the D2X is ok couple of small spots i think i have managed to blow off as i do a lot lens changes now and then and D70 gets a blow till i get enough dust on sensor before i decide to wet clean.
