Daniel: TinyPic.com is perfect for situations where you want to post a picture in a forum. It is free, no login is required, etc. (Just be sure to post a link and not to embed the image, since no thumbnail will be available.)
But a picture really isn't required; you likely have dust on your sensor. I'd first try going in to cleaning mode on the D70 and using a decent bulb blower (no compressed air! it contains impurities, such as oil, that can collect on the sensor!) such as the RocketAir. If that doesn't help, you'll need to carefully clean the sensor using Eclipse Solution and Pec-Pads by following these instructions.

Yep, sounds like sensor dust.

| You see, it's stories like this that makes me wary of going to use a dSLR. it would seem to me that they warrant a great deal of loving care and attention, and a certain degree of skilled maintenance. of course, I can see the benefits of a decent dSLR (this weeks macro challenge, for instance) but one can't help that if i ever got round to getting one (30th birthday next year, good excuse methinks) i might not want to use it outside of a clean-air vacuum sealed negative pressurised laboratory. or is it not that bad? has anyone ever gone a year without swabbing? |

| I've gone well over a year without cleaning my sensor. There are a couple of dust specs on it,. but nothing photoshop can't handle. They are pretty easy to clean though,. I'm just ultra lazy. |
