Hello and welcome You started off with a real beauty! I absolutely adore these soft colors and the water drops make the pic! Unfortunately you seem to have a very, very dirty sensor. May I ask if you always turn off your camera when you change lenses?

Again, welcome! I look forward to seeing more

thank you . I hadn't realized the black spots. Yes I turn off camera before changing lens, is that wrong?

You're doing the right thing, turning it off I just hadn't seen so many spots before unless some left the camera on, which acts like a dust magnet. I hope you'll be able to blow the dust off.

ah that is a relief that I did the right thing. I will have to be more diligent on keeping camera and a lens cleaner. I live in the country where dust and dirt abound and have 4 cats and dog.
