One of my largest pet peeves is exposing filters or sensor vertically to the air. Instantly dust will start to collect. So naturally I make a big deal about it. Getting your gear perfectly clean is very important to good images. It especially helps simplify flats. And flats should not be used to compensate for dust. Clean your gear first. Abusing flats is another big and bad habit I have seen in many other channels.
