      Yes, but you need a good brush. I clean my own sensors and its pretty easy. I use a visible dust brush, they are a little pricey but work good

      For me it just takes away from the movie a bit, I get distracted with the glasses and the extra effects going on I can't get as in to the movie as I can with a normal movie. Do love "real" theaters though, the ones that have nice old school big screens instead of the new places that have screens as big as some peoples homes.

      First focus on mastering the art of your photography, finding your style and then make sure that everyone who knows you knows what you do and that they know your vision for your photography and believe in it. They will refer you business and be the best way to grow your company.

      Have been a photographer since a kid, but shooting weddings professionally for 11 years. Shoot mainly with digital now (canon 5d) but also do shoot some film (mostly 35 and a little medium format here and there)

      I am a test and review, test and review type of guy. Although I know the science of photography I don't prefer to take the time to calibrate everything to the exact spec it needs to be.

      But understanding your meter is key and getting great exposures so important. I do have handheld meter that I use from time to time (really more for portraits not weddings) and after testing it out many time I know the difference from my camera bodies and adjust as needed.

      The same thing applies to my bodies. For example my main body's meter is pretty accurate it normally is about 1/3 stop under what it should be so I give the exposure 1/3 more. But my 2nd body that I shoot with along the first is about 1 1/3 stop difference. So when I am shooting in manual and get a meter reading I know to adjust the 2 different camera's accordingly.

      Hope that answers your question :)

      For dust I always suggest visible dust brushes. Easy to use just carefully brush away the dust

      Yes, you should get that checked out right away. I would send it in to the lens manufacturer directly and they can test out and fix. Most camera stores can send it in for you

      Nope, don't need sleep :)
      Ok, sometimes I do sleep but honestly not much, my mind is always thinking of creative things to do, to shoot and I normally jump out of bed after 4 hours ready to rock and roll!
