A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Where are the dust spots coming from? (alien.top)

Every picture I’ve taken recently have these dust spots in the same spot in every photo. I clean my lenses so im thinking they must be elsewhere. Where on or in the body of the camera is the dust and how can i go about cleaning them off? Could they be on the mirror? For reference, i have a Nikon D7200.

Sensor, back glass on lens, front glass on lens. Get an air blower onto all three and take a picture of a blank wall at f22 or so and that should give you an idea of what's left. You can get specific zeiss lens cleaning wipes that can help (do not use on your sensor just lenses). Anything on the sensor should be loose enough to get blown out by a blower.

If there are still a lot of spots then a sensor clean by a professional (until you become comfortable with that process) is the way to go.
