Why the "spots" ?

ciao998 · 03-06-2008, 10:43 PM

What did I do wrong here to get the spots on the bottom right?

All subsequent pictures did not have this

And how do I keep this from happening?

lens flare. get a hood or use your hand to shade the front of your lens.

jezterr · 03-06-2008, 11:10 PM

yeah. sun shining on your lens. hood helps prevent this, as well as a multi coat uv filter.

jezterr · 03-06-2008, 11:13 PM

being behind the window probably amplified it, too.

JayT · 03-06-2008, 11:13 PM

what lens is that? the bokeh is ew

ciao998 · 03-06-2008, 11:26 PM

Learned what bokeh is. Shot was taken hand held.

Would a tri-pod have helped or is it all because of the lens?..........JOhn

Bimjo · 03-07-2008, 04:29 PM

It's the lens. Tripod won't help. I shot this off a tripod.

all lens.

i can also tell you that your lens has 6 blades.

eric · 03-07-2008, 05:33 PM

JayT, where are you seeing the ugly bokeh? I don't really see much in those photos. The whole picture just looks kinda soft.

jezterr · 03-07-2008, 05:48 PM

i think he mistook the flare for bokeh.

jezterr · 03-07-2008, 05:49 PM

the canon 50 1.4 produces some decent bokeh:

BUT, if ciao were to take an out of focus picture, i would still be able to see 6-sided bokeh. which can be not too pleasing. but it's all subjective i suppose.
