Details:

It was a hazy morning photo shoot. I was photographing the sunrise, and was totally surprised when I bumped up my shutter speed, that I captured these sunspots. I used a Nikon D3, 70-300mm FX telephoto, f/13, 1/2000th sec, manual mode, tripod. Image is cropped but no telescope or filter was used.

If this photo was taken around these days, there were no such sunspots on the Sun. They seem to be lens specks or any other objects in the line of view, and very terrestrial, of course.

While I appreciate your comments, I dont like to have to defend my work. This photo is authentic and please check July 9th 2015 to verify sunspot orientation. I verified it, have you? Also I verified that it was not a sensor and flock spots. I was shooting through the atmosphere and the earths curve. I surely didnt expect this so I moved my camera and in other frames the same results, eliminating the thought of a dirty sensor.
