Jul 02, 2009 13:35 as a reply to @ dtufino's post | #7 Actually I was not using any filter at all in front of the 35L. I find I get more lens flares (similar to what you posted) when I use a filter. People argue about using a UV filter or not (and I usually do keep one on) but I 100% know for a fact I get more streaking or flares when I have the UV on and am shooting directly into light sources.



What lens are you using for the carnival shot? The EXIF says it was a Nikon. I'm not that familiar with Nikon lenses but was it a high quality (expensive) one? Besides filters, I get many more lens flares, blooming and streaking when I use the lower end Canon lenses (such as the Nifty Fifty).



So to recap, all I did was lock the camera on a tripod, point, and shoot. No filters. Little to no PP. I just pulled the level slider down in ACR on the blue channel. That's it.



JBMills, this is at the secret abandoned dock downtown Baton Rouge. Well, it's not so secret any longer. Most kids know about it (as you can see by the graffiti). Google map here:
