Light spots on photos

[Harry6]

Hello all, I have just started getting into this photography game (literally 3 weeks ago). I brought a 750D and popped out snapping away to just get used to it. When in

ooked back at some photos I noticed some light spots. All in different places and different sizes. I've tried to attach the photos. Any advice would be welcome as hoping it's me and not the camera. Thanks.

Might want to check this out.  Maybe you have a bad sensor.

From the link: (emphasis added)

"In the advisory, Canon notes 'white spots may exist on the optical layer which may result in the appearance of dark circular patterns on the captured image under certain shooting conditions.' This statement echoes our initial findings and is said to be caused by 'irregularities on an optical layer located in front of the image sensor.'"

 I posted the link to the sensor information because in the second set of pictures he posted of the sky in the left middle of all three shots have a dark spot in them.

Sensor dirt is dark and remains in the same spot in each photo.

I'm thinking the light spots are on the front of the lens. My hunch is it is either water of a small speck of clear plastic that is gathering the light. Being on the front lens glass or filter would allow it to move as the focusing turns. It is possible that there is something inside the lens, but I doubt that.

...

When checking for dirt on your lens or sensor, shoot at a blank wall or even large white / light poster board. The monotone surface helps identity the dark dirt spots. When cleaning with air, hold the camera upside down so any dislodged dust falls out.

My first thought had been fireflies, but that really didn't seem likely.  My second thought was water droplets on the lens.

Bugger! I hadn't seen that light spot in the third sky photo in the upper right corner. I got distracted by the dark spot in all three shots in the left center area.

Things are seldom as simple as they seem, are they?
