Photography - Speck in the photos


Expert: Tim Hrabia - 1/31/2009

Question
A speck keeps appearing in all of my photos
I took several pictures on the highway and when reviewed them, I saw that all of them had a a blurred dot at the same point
When I took a test photo using an aperture of f2.6, the speck disappeared, but when I used f8, it showed up
What is wrong with my camera? What is the solution?

(just for the record, the warranty has expired)

How can I prevent this dot from appearing again?
and the picture feels a little noisy....how do I improve it's quality?  

Answer
Good evening. Great question, but not quite enough information. Before I give an answer I would need to know if this is a digital or film camera, can you attach other lenses, if you can does the spot appear when you use another lens?
As far as the picture goes, what do you mean when you say it is "noisy"?
Thanks for the question and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely
Tim (the husband)
