- One problem with shooting panoramic photos…can be sensor dust.…You get a little bit of spot on the sensor itself,…it's going to be across every single image.…So you really have to decide how you want to fix this.…Now I'm a big fan of doing this in the field.…Remember, we talked about when you're out there shooting,…try to avoid changing the camera lens in dusty situations…like, I don't know, in the desert.…But, if you have to change a lens, take advantage of…some of the tools at your disposal.…So, when you remove the lens cap, and you take that off,…you can use the dust blower.…
Remember, you had the camera pointing downward…(blows air)…and a few good brushes there will…go ahead and clean that out.…Now you'd then do the lens swap and that's fine.…That's always the best alternative;…try to keep the camera clean when you're shooting.…But if after the fact, you have to deal with it in post,…there's a couple of strategies.…Let's start by dealing with it inside the panoramic…photo itself and take a look at the individual components.…
