Hello and Sensor cleaning

[Alan P. Hayes]

Having managed to keep up with this list for the last 20,000 or so 
posts, I thought I would introduce myself. I've recently acquired an 
istD after owning a succession of digital point and shoots over the 
last few years. Prior to that my only photographic experience was 
long ago, when match needle TTL metering was the latest thing. I 
still find myself approach these new cameras with a manual bias.
If anyone's interested you can see some of my pictures at the url 
listed in my sig, below. Those are a little out there's other more 
normal stuff here:

On sensor cleaning, I've been following this fellow's advice and 
using a cosmetics brush. His approach seems to make sense and work 
pretty well, and it's cheap to boot!

This is a well named list, the members display a prodigious knowledge 
of things Pentax and a prodigious ability to discuss...almost 
anything!
