Looks to me like dust on the sensor.  It doesn't take a very big speck of dust 
on the sensor to leave that kind/ size of spot in the photo.  
Does your camera have a sensor cleaning mode?  If so put in a fully charge 
battery set the sensor cleaning mode and leave the camera on till the battery 
is nearly dead.  I would even lay the camera lens side down so that any dust 
will fall out onto the lens or the cap that goes in place of the lens.

The more you change lenses the greater the chance of getting dust into the 
camera body.

  If you look at the Ferrari GTC picture, you will see the dark spot on the 
hood. There are 2 of these in every picture I take with myu camera. I have 
another example on a Corvette from the Nickey Chevrolet event (that I still 
don't have posted). 

  Anyone know what this might be? Can't see any dirt anywhere. 

  Thanks,
  JC

Plus more than I can get done at home. At least I have a job. 

    Her are some tidbits. 
    Don't know if they will go through (size) but I am throwing them out there.

      Since Hawthorn's last race was the Morroco Grand Prix in 1959, it 
reminded me that I was at that GP in 1971...on a Norton 750 (borrowed.)  Very 
few photos from that event...probably because I was a wee bit "dazed and 
confused" due to various chemicals...and I got thrown out of the Hilton hotel 
there for being a "feelthy heepee."  Not long after than I returned to the 
states and eventually tried to adopt a normal lifestyle.  Never really worked.  
I kept hearing this different drummer, see....and it was probably John 
Christensen.  :)

      For those who don't know, John's a drummer and played with a band called 
"Jonesin" for quite a while.

      Btw, John...hurry up with them Concours photos...I'm still stuck on the 
salt flats race cars.
