Oh that's so cool! Never heard of or seen a sundog before!! Love the ice crystals in the air ... something else I've never seen or heard of!!

Looks like you need your mirror and/or sensor cleaned

Thanks MA....for the comment and the pickup. Missed a couple...got the others. I think it needs a run into the shop for a good internal cleaning,

Cool shots of the sundogs Casil. Those are some of the clearest and brightest I have seen.
Sundogs are also a guarantee of precipitation within 48 hrs of seeing them.

Buy a kit and clean it yourself Casil ... it's so easy!
We paid $100 to get a sensor cleaned for Chantelle when she bought my 400D camera and after that we decided checked out the cleaning kits ... way cheaper and surprisingly it's not rocket science at all.

I am cleaning it with a kit every week almost and still I get sust on there...can't seem to get rid of it. Should i be doing it that often...is that normal?

No ... that's not normal at all. Unless you live in a very dusty place ... like outback Australia maybe??
I'd say you either aren't getting it all or there's something unusual introducing the dust into the camera body.

How often do change lenses?

Could there be some sort strong static issue involved? Do you run around in nylons on a woolen floor then go play with your camera?

I assume you take the usual precautions ... like holding the camera body downwards when lens changing? Making the change as quickly as possibly?
