walterh Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Pavel you are shooting against the sun. Some rays of sun got into your lens and the lens shows "flare" because of internal reflection in the lens. Use a sunshade whenever possible and under conditions similar to your shot try to shade your lens e.g. by your hand. very often you can see an indication of flare already in the viewfinder, especially if you wave your hand in front of the lens. The difference between shaded and unshaded lens becomes visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I adjusted the subject line and added the image in line. Otherwise, Walter has said it all. Try to use a lens hood at all times to block stray light and to protect your lens. If the sun is right in front of you, you may need more than just the hood.

szrimaging Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Also, some filters may increase the chance. I use a UV filter on my 80-200, and it seems to increase the likelyhood of flare. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosquandt Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 All the advices are said but i still think this is a strange flare and it could be produced by dirt on the lens, such as greasy dirt.So clean the lens as well as posible Hope it helps and excuse my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alice_guy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Have you got a UV filter on your lens? The tint of the flare looks very similar to the green tinted flare I get when using a Nikon UV filter that I have. As already stated, use a lens hood, or avoid shooting into or at an angle near to the sun, or shade the lens somehow.. even with your hand. Removing a filter if o have one in place may lessen the chances of flare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 To verify flare is indeed the problem here, test with the same lens on your camera and with the sun in front of you in a similar situation and angle. You should be able to see the same problem in your viewfinder. When that happens, use your hand to shield the top of your lens similar to what a lens hood would do, and the flare should disappear in your viewfinder. Again, sometimes even a lens hood is not enough. You may need to use a newspaper to create a larger, extended "lens hood" to block the stray light.

johannes_bennke Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hello, I have the same problem with Lens Flare Effects. I am aware that the reason is shooting against the sun, but I use always a UV-Filter and a sun hood. The lens flare effect is reduced, but is there any filter that completely avoids this effect? I?ve made some researches and read about polarize filters. Is it helpful? I would be glad about any helpful respond in this case. Thank you.
