How to get rid of a speck of dust on my camera?
I have a DSLR, Nikon D5000. I don't know if what is showing up on pictures is a speck of dust on the mirror, or a dirty sensor, or what. I can see the speck of dust in the eyepiece. It gets bigger on the picture if I zoom in and it kind of appears as a mole. It's on the same place in every photo. What do i do?
You have allowed dust to get in between the lens and shutter/sensor

Pay attention to the part that says, "… Never, ever touched a sensor!"
If you can see it trough the view finder it's not on the sensor (it's called a single lens reflex for a reason people, geez!) If you see it trough the viewfinder and it shows up on pictures it's on the lens, if you see it but it's not on the pictures it's on the mirror or focus screen.
If it's in the camera your rocket blower will get it, if it's on the lens first try the blower, then your microfiber cloth or lens pen.
Send it to the nikon service center for cleaning. I don't think it will cost a lot. Don't try to clean the dust by yourself if it is no the CCD sensor, better let the pro do it.
