The amount of dust on my sensor is shameful. f32 shows everything.

A rainbow strikes again! Thanks for your votes and comments.
My polarizer broke about 10 minutes before the rainbow showed up. I had some rather borring pictures of spinning wind machines against the stormy sky and then the clouds broke. f32 and 1/10 was the slowest shutter speed I could manage. 0.5s would have been the best.
Post processing was pretty minimal, some levels and saturation/contrast adjustment, USM and wala!
I cloned out about 30 dust bunnies!

WELL DONE my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice shot and the rainbow tops it off (i sympathise with you about the dust - i think mine is probably the same) - although i wouldnt recommend a polarising filter for use with a rainbow, arent rainbows by essence polarised light? ND is the way to go :)
Not a problem, you can rotate the polarizer so it is NOT polarizing the rainbow and then it's just a ND filter in effect.
Great shot. Peters :-)
Thanks! I used the polarizer on my Tree minimal editing shot and I think it appeared to intensify the colors because it darkened the sky. I thought a polarizer brightened the rainbow, but it is an illusion caused by relative brightness.

I'm with you on the f/32 vs. dust thing. Maybe get an ND filter? I had a similar problem with my entry (although mine was at f/20 where the dust isn't quite so bad).
I definitely could have used a ND! I already had a gradND but the white blades of the windmills against the dark sky were tough to hold. I still blew out the stationary ones.
