Hi,

for some of the photos taken using my eos 20d, i have started noticing
a black spot.  please see the photos in my flickr set:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/_aperture/sets/72157600293059088/

i started noticing it recently and seem to be visible under some
exposures.  size seems to change (though i am not very sure of it!).
i first suspected some particle on the lens, but i tried with
different lenses, and the problem seem to be there irrespective of the
lens used.  what might be the problem here?  any help appreciated.

thanks,
bala

It looks like a speck of dust on your sensor..  See below:

OH NO!

Yet another many days/weeks of photographs ruined by dust on a DSLR sensor? Only
to be discovered AFTER returning from a vacation or extensive and important
once-in-a-lifetime photography trek into some remote region? Photos that could
never be duplicated again, destroyed by something as simple as a micro-specks of
dust on a DSLR sensor from HAVING TO change over-priced and over-weight lenses
on that fancy and overpriced DSLR body?

If the "rare" (cough) reports of this keep up people might just end up switching
to advanced P&S cameras with sealed lens systems.

Oh wait. They already have. Those photographers that are smart enough and care
more about their photography than trying to impress others with dust-crippled,
overpriced, overweight hardware that they can buy, so they can look like a
"photographer" -- and yet never actually be one.

DSLR = a $5000 useless, backbreaking, gawdy necklace.
