Cowee Sunset 8

The booger really shows in this shot. It's in all the other shots also, but it's masked by something else. I didn't notice it until the show was over and I was reviewing pictures in the camera. The sunset ended up fizzling again - low clouds moved in fast after this shot, so I didn't miss much. I looked on the lens and didn't see anything. The R1 is a closed system, so if it was on the sensor I was really screwed. I remembered a suggestion on a forum of what to do in a case like this, so I started banging gently on the lens barrel while looking in LCD and sure enough after about 5 bangs, the thing moved closer to the edge of the frame. A couple more bangs got it completely out of the picture and I don't seem to have hurt the camera at all. I guess I'll find out next week end when my sweetie is in town again :)

Seems this set up is typical for that area near sunset. Must have something to do with the lay of the land. I've got several sunset images from different times that look somewhat similiar. It's a real bonus when the show goes off as we wish from here I think.
