When using the narrow apertures I notice smudges on some of my images.
Usually only when over an area of uniform colur such as the sky or water.

At first I thought it was dust on lens but it remains constantly placed when I change lenses which rules that out I think.

So I think it's muck on the sensor but i'm a bit new to photography and don't want to go making expensive mistakes.

So far all i've done is lift the mirror out the way and give a good blow with the rocket blower. This seemed to remove some but marks still remain.

Am I being picky and should just accept that this happens or is it easy to get rid of the rest of these marks.

I've put an image below to help show what i'm talking about.

All advice appreciated, especially re products to buy and technique, also whether it's best to take it somewhere instead.

thanks for the advice

Can't understand how it got so bad. I change lenses very carefully and the camera never really goes anywhere "extreme"

Are there any tricks to avoid the muck in the first place?

tempted to have a go myself or i'll never learn.

What are the real pit falls to look ou for if doing it yourself?

Only other option is the J people. worth taking to them or steer well clear?
 
It's the Canon 60D

Can't understand how it got this mucky in a year? Is it normal or am I doing something wrong?
