Well, it was my cousin who did the cleaning for me. (for free) And he's a CameraWorld store manager. But I still need to pick up my own cleaning kit.
I was told that Adobe has a feature that can pin point all your "spots" and eliminate them upon download. So, I need to look into that too. I just got Adobe Lightroom
and maybe it has it too.
What I really need to do, is to get a laptop to download pictures while on vacation, so that way I know what my pictures look like from day to day. So, I don't have to wait till I get home to see what they look like. It's hard to see the spots on my little screen on my camera. That's why I'm wanting a multipurpose lens. Like a 18-270mm, to cut down the amount of lens changing, to keep the dust entering the camera to a minimum.
But on Monday I my mom and step dad invited us to go with them to Warrenton, Or.
And it has this--

And hopefully, if I get time, and the kids aren't too, "dad you've taken enough pictures already!" mode, there is Neah-Kah-Nie Mtn, and Hug Point. But that all depends on the weather and lighting. So, we will see what happens.
