They look very much like what is known as dust bunnies. They will be on your sensor which just needs cleaning :wink:

Sensor dust can so easily be removed using the healing brush in Photoshop. Once it gets bad, I then use the Copperhill method of cleaning.

Cheers

The Easter Dust Bunny leaves his little gifts everywhere.

But I's aldo be a bit concerned at those squiggly lines in the upper RH corner of each of the images. :)

But for the former problem, you simply need to get your friendly Giotto Rocket and give the sensor a quick blast. If that fails, a wet clean with the appropriate alcoholic fluids (methanol for the sensor, red wine for the sensor-cleaner) is prescribed.

Nice images :shock: - very easily fixed. Less than 5 minutes.

By the way - dust bunnies are the price we all pay for not using film.

I have figured out what dust and scratches are all about on film - and have been discovering new ways of achieving them. I'll take a dust bunny on a digital sensor any day.

Craig,

If it's scotch, then it's whisky, if it's Irish, Canadian, or Bourbon, then it's whiskey. Don't ask. :)

Now, what was your question again?

Hic!
