So what, you are asking, does cleaning the sensor have to do with macro images? Well, I have been Photoshopping out a nasty artifact in my images for several months. I finally got up the nerve to clean the the sensor, (actually, it is a filter over the sensor that gets cleaned). A picture of a grey sky showed me that the artifact was gone, but had I damaged the sensor?
To check, I pulled out my macro lens which is also my best lens and took a shot of some moss growing with one of Hubby's bonsais.
I think there was no harm done, other than to my nerves!
The Canon 50D is supposed to be self cleaning but somehow the dust still gets in.
