Hey guys,
Im new to the forum, so im not completely sure what forum to put this in. But I have 2 large smudges on my pictures when i take them. Im new to photography, so im not completely sure what they are coming from. I checked the lense and I dont believe i have any scratches or scuffs, as it looks fine. Does anyone have any idea what these smudges are coming from? I have a canon digital rebel xt if that helps.

heres a picture of what they look like.

Anyone have any ideas?
Im leaving on a trip tomorrow, so I am really trying hard to get my camera clean and fixed before i go. Any advice would be great!
Cheers,
Kyle
