Lens hood, possibly remove any filters you may have (UV, etc). Shoot at slightly different angle to the light source. |

Was there a filter on your lens? A hood? Edit: Andrew's quick today. LOL --------------------------- Everyone wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords. |

Lens hood on, UV filter on. I'll try it without the filter. --------------------------- New to Pixtus or Photography? Click Here! “If you find yourself saying I’ll fix it in Photoshop, stop and slap yourself in the face, because you’re being lazy” ~ Zack Arias |

Okay...it's that simple. I've never had this happen before so the thought that it would be the filter never occurred to me. --------------------------- New to Pixtus or Photography?

be aware that with very bright lights, even shots with no filter can get this reaction. coated elements ($$) in the lens can help, but nothing is 100%. aka "ghosting" --------------------------- 5th Generation Texian.

Sometimes using a multi-coated filter can help reduce that phenomenon, but not always. Glad it wasn't something more bizarre. EDIT: LOL this time Ken was too fast. |

It is not a reflection ... It is a transmission of Scotty beaming Kirk down to the factory floor. Sharp eye and quick on the shutter to catch this ...

My first question is can you see it through the view finder? If not, then you are going to have a hard time eliminating it. Pat --------------------------- Pat |

I will take "What can filters do? for $500 please Alex".... my take is a reflection off the front lens element to the backside of the filter. The reflection is inverted and slightly skewed, so thats my take. BTW, what are you doing aiming at the ceiling? |

BTW lens hoods won't help when the light source is in the image, they only help when the light source is just outside the frame but is still hitting the front element. --------------------------- Jeff Kohn | The Majestic Landscape | Blog | More Images "The capacity to compose images is really the capacity to give coherence to sensed experience" - Robert Motherwell |
