Mark on photos

[GregD]

Hello,

I am struggling with some marks on some of my photos it does not seem to be all of them I have got this mark on my lens I have cleaned the lens several times using my lens pen and it is still there but not always. I have loaded this pic for you to see, will I have to take this to be cleaned professionally?

it looks like dust on the sensor - use mirror lockup on your camera and use a blower to blow the sensor, this should shift it.

If you mean that squiggle - then it's most likely on your camera's sensor m8

You see it 'sometimes' when you're shooting at max DoF apertures, such as your f32 here; but at f5.6 or less it'll be so OoF you won't notice it

If you've got more than one lens,stick them both on their min aperture and shoot a blank wall; if it can be seen on both photos it's obviously not your lens that's mucky

Yeah, looks like the sensor to me too - should be easy enough to remove with a blower, something that size should get cleaned off easily enough.
