He can do a test shot shooting at larger aperture. But those spots seem consistent at their respective locations.

clean the lens first lah... chances are the front end is dirty. I am using a Canon, I basically clean the sensor by using a blower. as mentioned so far for me the dark spot is due to dirty lens (at the front end)

Not necessary it's on the sensor, you can try cleaning the lens (front & rear) with a lenspen first, if the result is still the same then more or less confirm that it's on the sensor, you can try to use a blower which works for me all the time, otherwise you can just send it in to SSC for cleaning.

Hi,

Really hope I can make it on 18 July 2009, cause I wanted to find the correct shooting location and settings for the NDP fireworks on the actual day, as last Sat, rain came in, disrupting my plan.

Just too bad I have IPPT on that day, don't think I can rush down in time. Most likely I will be at the bridge area on 25 July 2009, for the 3rd NE Show. Hope to see you all by then.
