What are these dots

[ShawWellPete]

Any idea what these dots are in the sky? Is it more likely to be the lens or the sensor?

Looks like sensor dust to me - try rocket blower as a quick removal tool.

Dirty Sensor

What EXIF for that shot?

What's the easiest way to get the EXIF data? I normally look at it with Photoshop album but it doesn't allow me to select it to copy and paste.

Anyway it was shot at Aperture Priority on my Minolta 7D (F19 1/350sec ISO 200). I used the nifty fifty (Minolta 50mm 1.7).

Sensor dust most likely

Yep, sensor dust. I've had it twice just lately. It's amazing how blue sky shows it up right away

Rocket blower time

You can avoid it by using larger apertures btw, my sensor looks clean if I keep to f10, above that and its really quite dirty, by f19 I could plant potatoes.

Thanks guys, I'll get the blower out and see if it helps...

The way to get the exif for the shots, Peter, is to download a little program called Opanda....and then when you right click a photo on here you will have a choice to view the exif for it if (unless "save to web" has been used, which strips the exif data).

Thanks Janice,
