It's chromatic aberration, and it's a property of your lens.

I get that using both my Pentax K100D's kit lens and a Vivitar

28-135 macro zoom nondigital lens.

 

I don't know if this is expected but it seems a common issue with

backlit subjects with any camera. I even get this on several

scans of 35mm film taken with P&S's and an old Yashica SLR

camera I've used in the past.

 

Also I've seen it even worse on cable TV broadcast like on the

Learning Channel and Discovery where I'm sure they use very

expensive camera's and equipment.

 

From the size of the blow-up, I'ld say it's hardly noticeable.

I have the same combination with similar outcomes. It's the lens.

It may be worse at certain zoom settings or apertures. On my 16-45 Pentax lens, it seems

less at 45mm.

You can try a higher F stop.

 

Better yet, drop $110 on a 50/1.8 lens.

 

I never use zoom lenses with studio strobes. Even with the 18-70, I'll get fringing on the edge of a white plate on a black background.

 

Get the 50/1.8

but my friends, how can i remove this this in shoot or before shoot. its spoiling my shot

[tom_jenner1]

Hey Gunpreet,

 

What we're all trying to tell you is that you're having this problem because of the zoom lens that you're using. Zoom lense are a compromise and one of the compromises, at least in the consumer zoom lenses, is that they tend to have a higher amount of fringing.

 

If you're lens is a problem, then you need to get a different lens. A low cost, high quality lens that won't have these problems is the the 50mm f1.8 prime lens. With a high quality prime lens you won't have this problem in the first place. Problem solved!

 

There are also a wide variety of low cost prime manual focus lenses that you can use, although they won't meter with your D80 (manual only).

Not much you can do really, except in post-processing. Try an 18-70mm nikkor - I have virtually no fringing on mine. Also, you might try underexposing by 1/3 to 2/3 stop to reduce the CA from dark/light transition areas & then fix in software (best to shoot RAW).

[jeff medkeff anchorage, a]

If the D80 is digital, and you shoot raw, and you convert with Adobe Camera Raw, you can correct this by using the tools on the "lens" tab of ACR.

[john schroeder]

If you shoot in RAW you can correct for it with Capture. Photoshop also has a tool for removing CA.

Thnx My Friends

There is a filter that was designed for chromatic abberations such as that. It was made specifically for astro-photography where the abberations like that would 'bloom' the stars. It's called a 'minus-violet' filter and is made by Lumicon. Basically it cuts out the high end of the violet spectrum where chromatic abberations occur. I personally haven't used it with normal photography, I have used it on some of my astro-photography done thru a refractor scope similar to older telephoto lenses.

It's not the normal type of solution I'm sure. The others have already sent some sound solutions to the problem but it's an alternative. Just my $.02 worth..
