Good Toby

I am wondering if a charged make-up brush will remove the dust ?

Some, if not all, of the "dust" is pollen ...

Very lovely fluorescence photos, Toby. I like that dark background, too.

 

Yes, sometimes dust or lint can be brushed off. Usually I just clone it out in Photoshop Elements.

But as Birna notes, sometimes dust is actually pollen.
