    It's sensor dust bunnies. The dust on your lens will rarely if ever show up in a shot, it's too far from the focal plane. But your sensor on the other hand it's right in the focal plane and any dust on it will show up at smaller apertures.

    Your D60 has a sensor cleaning system built in, that should take care of most of your problems.

    This is dust on the sensor, shooting situations such as this, narrow aperture, will bring them out. To see if this is really it do this,
    1 get a blank wall, narrow aperture and long exposure
    stop down as low as possible and swirl the camera
    2 open in photo editor
    3 increase contrast
    4 Thar be sensor dust
    5 get a professional clean
