You easily forget how close you are to the country living in Hilliard.  This is 5 miles west, and Downtown Columbus is 10 miles east.

I drove around for about 2 hours and finally found a suitable scene.  I took about 75 shots of this area at different Apertures and exposures.  Once I got home I discovered that I have a great deal of dust on my sensor.

Here is the shot:

Some of my shots had very dark spots in them.   When looking at the aperture, the worst offenders were at f/22.   I did some research online, and begged for help on the fredmiranda.com forums because I initially thought that this may have been dust in the lens. Obviously there are hundreds of useful sites helping you clean this so I won’t even bother getting into it.
