hard to see with this small pic but there is about 10 spots all over the pic and a blemish in the top left corner. i tried 3 dif lens and its there in every pic and more noticable depeniding on the lighting. maybe something on the mirror or shutter?

Prolly dust on your sensor...try opening the shutter and puffing it off with a bulb type puffer. Different camera makes have different ways to keep the shutter open for cleaning. My Nikon has a setting to hold open the shutter. You could also set it to "bulb" and keep the button depressed (but be careful not to release the button if the end of the puffer is in there or bad news) some people use canned air but you need to make certain that only air. not freezing moisture hits it. If that doesn't work I would suggest letting a pro clean your sensor.

Ya know, just bein a amatuer, take the same lens, point it at a solid white background, prime lens...shoot one,,,zoom....shoot one in and one out.  Dots still there?   Yes is sensor. No?  CROWS  northbound at sunrise.
