<p>I have a UV filter on this lens. Could that be it? I never saw this effect before (although I never took pix like these before)</p>

<p>Hi everyone,<br>

I was taking some christmas decoration pix in my neighborhood and found strange glowing reflections in my photos. Any idea where these come from?<br>

examples:<br>

/> (this one is even an inverted projection)<br>

Taken by Canon 30D/Canon EF 50mm f/1.4/800ISO<br>

Thanks,<br /> Rob</p>

As as alternative: have you thought about an angle-finder?

Some additional info: the exposure in this particular pictures was already dialed down by 2/3 stop. I also made the same picture w/o exposure correction, and most of the picture was just too light

<p>Over the past 2 months, I noticed that my otherwise perfectly performing 30D has slipped into overexposing. I

need to underexpose about 2/3 stops to get the right exposure. It happens across a range of lenses, including

70-200 f/4L and tokina 12-24 f/4</p>

 

<p>See <a href=" picture</a> for an example</p>

 

<p>Is this a common appearance in 30D's after about a year (certainly hope not)? Can the meter be recalibrated?</p>

 

<p>rgds,<br />

I recently bought a camera cover from Kata (http://www.kata-bags.com/product.asp?p_Id=269&Version=Photo). It

covers your hands, the camera and the lens. You might needs an attachment for the longer lenses.
