Default Spots on my leaves...any advice? [Pics included]

Hi all,

I just removed a grocery bag full of leaves from my precious Mountain Princess and Bing organic tomato plants. I'm guessing that they're being attacked by early blight or septoria. I've been reading a lot about tomato diseases, but I'm hoping that Tomatoville can help me get a handle on this.

I sprouted these plants from seed about 7 weeks ago and planted them in the ground about two weeks ago. My wife and I just bought a house this year so this is the first time tomatoes have been grown here. I made the beds about two weeks ago - I pulled up the grass, tilled about a foot deep and added a good bit of bagged garden soil, mushroom compost and peatmoss and mixed everything well. As you can see in the pics, I've employed raised beds and homemade trellises.

Pictures:
- Picture titled 'naked bottoms' shows how my tomatoes look after today's pruning. If a branch had leaves with spots, it was snipped and removed.

- Picture named 'spots on removed limbs' shows what the snipped branches look like (the one pictured is probably the worst looking branch...)

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
