I’m confused--take a look.

These two photos were taken within three minutes of one another--same camera, same lens, same f stop, raw, unedited. The one of the road has spots/splotches in the upper right, and the one of the barns doesn’t. This has happened before--any explanations?

If you changed the lens that could be the issue, the dust being on the back element.
If not, I have no clue and will not even try to guess.

Did you change the F stop? I have one camera with a sensor spot I can't get rid of, does the same thing to a lesser degree - seems to vary with F stop setting.

I would say sensor dust spots. The angle of the light is probably different between the two images. One shot facing one direction and the other a different direction. That's my guess, John. I think if you look at the image without the spost in your RAW processor and really pull down the expsure the spots will show up. I'm just guessing, though. I've had the same thing happen to me.

Did you change focus? Maybe some dirt on lens? Does it happen with other lenses?

Could it be possible dust moving around the sensor. I'm not sure how effective a camera auto-clean function is, but if everything else was the same as you stated, not sure what else would cause that.

No lens change.

The spots look like sensor dust. Dust can move when you move the camera or tilt it. Also, If you turn the camera off/on most cameras will do a sensor cleaning. Dust will fall off.

I just took apart and cleaned everything but the sensor--I don’t feel confident enough to do that. The spots have moved, but they’re still there, recurring only in some photos. Should I send the camera in for cleaning? It’s a Canon, so should I send it to Canon, or is there some other reputable, less expensive shop that will do that?

Do you have a squeeze bulb blower? These are dust on the sensor. Dust anywhere else will not look like this. The more you stop down, the more visible they become. But you didn't change aperture. They are also more or less visible based on the background behind them which we have here.
Make sure you only use a squeeze bulb for photo equipment, and certainly no other source of compressed air.
