I like the little "flaws," too. Usually they add more than they detract. (People are just spoiled by digital making everything "perfect."

100% agree

I think it makes a photo more Authentake (sp)

I really like the mark on the right. It makes the shot feel more authentic somehow so itβs best left in I think. It is fair to say though that sometimes it's good to remove those spots, pops and clicks but other times they add a certain charm and I think this is one of those occasions. I get the feeling you don't like it though.

i love marks on photographs, i just used to get so many comments saying things like "oh, jesus, edit out that spot!" or, "what's with the noise, havn't you heard of a filter?!"
...i love flawed photographs though, film has that emotional authenticity about it

Ah, good, good, we're on the same wavelength then I see. I know what you mean about people saying "oh, jesus, edit out that spot!" Sometimes you kind of feel the need to remove a spec just to avoid complaints and satisfy the nitpickers. Although if that's all that someone can find "wrong" with it then I'd take that as a fair compliment. I think it's because so many of us are used to seeing crisp, clean digital images nowadays and you just don't get the same sort of "authentic" or "real" feeling as you do with a nice film image. The closest thing you might get to nice bit of dust or a hair with a digital photo is when you see those horrible splodges appearing on the image if there's dust on the light sensor. Either that or even worst still, if you go and fake it in PhotoShop or something which never looks right.

spots on film look okay, but on digital they look..horrible o_o;

About ten minutes ago I made the mistake of taking the lens off my Canon because I had some crazy idea about making a pinhole thing for the front after looking at those pinhole cameras a few days back. It's now got dust on the sensor and it's not budging, even when I use my magic air blowing bulb thing that looks like a rocket. Splodgerific... Blarrg!

Ten minutes and the sensor got completely clogged?! Wow o_o;
Those rocket things are useless on my nikon, i use this tiny brush thing i got on the front of a photography magazine

I mostly useit to get dust off the front of the lens. I used on the sensor once before and it seemed to do the trick. This time it was being a bit more stubborn. The annoying bit is after having blasted it with air then, you then have put it all back together, take another pic and find the damn thing stiff floating there and in the same bloody place and to just piss you off a little further, he's got a little friend with him too cluttering up the place. I think I have something similar to your brush thing. The closest thing I can liken it to is a lipstick but it's a brush that pops out the top when you pull the thing back. It says Minolta on it. Not sure where it came from though. I think my Dad found it. I've never used it but it's around someplace.

I meant, "damn thing still floating there".

exactly the same as yours

I didn't know it would be alright to use a brush on the sensor. The idea of actually touching it with anything seems quite scary. At least with film, you are always refreshing the actual thing the image is recorded onto.

very true. alot of film cameras survive anything too - (within reason, my dad claims his first camera fell out of a window and survived without a scratch), but you drop a digital - and poof, new camera in the mail the next day.

I've never dropped a camera of any kind... Well maybe a camera phone but that doesn't count (that's a bit harsh, they aren't that bad). A film SLR I have has a squashed/dented corner but I got it like that and itβs always worked fine. It's not that good of a camera though, I'd like a Pentax MX or something like that I think. The closest I've come to damaging a camera is once when I was photographing a band at this little venue in Hull called The Adelphi (literally the converted ground floor of a house complete with a bar, located on a very normal looking street with other very normal looking houses). This guy was throwing his arm around like a windmill (I think he was the singer in one of the bands playing that night actually) and he got too close and hit the Tamron 2.8 lens of my Canon 30D. The camera and lens were fine but the guy cut his finger and spent the rest of the evening apologising to me and asking if my camera was alright. I just laughed and said it was fine.

i slipped over once holding a camera - strained my knee when i went over at one of these National Trust places, and even though i was limping around all day afterwards all i was worried about was the camera gear

As a photographer, you risk life and limb but just as long as the camera comes out alive by the end of it all then it was worth it. Oh, that and having at least one good photo for the trouble.

i'd happily (well, not happily, but you know what i mean), fall over and hurt myself again if it meant not breaking an expensive piece of camera gear

Haha, crazy but it does make a bizarre kind of sense.
