Use a lens hood. Often need more than many hoods provide, esp. at wide angle. Use hand, grey card, umbrella... etc. to block.

You had light from teh sun falling on the lens (without necc. being in the image). Use your hand, grey card or umbrella as a lens shade when taking such images. Alternately, just make the flare (and sun) part of the image: http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/37709986 > And I'm assuming my sensor is pretty filthy ? > http://www.pbase.com/slack/image/41417396 Don't sweat it unless you take a lot of bright, even scenes with small apertures. Cheers, Alan.
