Then take a shot of the cloudless blue sky if there is one, or a blank piece of paper if there isn't. The piece of paper should be evenly lit and fill the entire frame. It's best if you have the focus off by as much as possible, too. That would mean having it focus as near as possible if you're shooting the sky, or at infinity if you're shooting a piece of paper. Take multiple shots -- the specks that don't move between shots are the ones caused by dust on the sensor.
