We Heard the Click of Your Shutter and We Are Out of Here
Lens Flare? I figured that was what happened except I got a similar thing on today's tree frog photo taken inside with a different lens. Any suggestions? This was from my hike on the trails above our house yesterday in broad beautiful sunlight. I like how their ears catch the back light even if it's only a butt shot!
Fabulous - are those your famous elk? Not sure about the flare - looks different to your other one - have you given it a good clean may just be side light.
@judithg on the other one I did a bit of editing to try to cover it up. I set the camera to do an extra sensor cleaning. Guess I will see what happens next. Yes these are our elk- Roosevelt elk- I saw 13 on the trail the day before but didn't have my camera. They are so awesome even if they do necessitate really high garden fences!
@judithg they were almost extinct in the 1920 when there was only one small herd left in Eastern OR. The forest service thanks to Theodore Roosevelt , put a stop to the over hunting, let the herds reestablish themselves and then exported some of them to other parts of Oregon. More recently, ironically because of decrease in logging and the impact on elk habitat, the numbers are declining somewhat again.
Looks like lens flare if you shot anywhere close to having the sun in front of you.
Dirt on your sensor will show up in the same place every time. You'll notice sensor dust, especially on solid light backgrounds. Hard to see sensor dust on a shot like this. The background is too busy for you to notice it.
