Wierd blue spots on photos???

[sstein]

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me what these marks are on my camera. I forgot all about them till I was cleaning out my duff pics. Here is a jpg with a few on it.

Is my camera knackered, I will try some shots tomorrow with my wide lense (these were taken with my zoom lense).

They dont show up on every pic, but the last 30 or so pics I have taken have had them on them! Camera is only a couple of years old as well, so a bit of a pisser if its broken already!



I think they must be on the sensor as they are in the same spot on every pic but dust usually just shows up as a dark shadowy spot, not bright blue lights.

Oh, the camera is a D70 using 70-300 Nikon lense.

Hm as theres two and there the same distance apart as the headlights I'd say wierd type of reflection/lens flare from the headlights.

Or Orbs, your camera is possesed.. Should have bought canon...

Looks like flare to me too.

Haven't got a cheap filter on there by any chance, have you ?

I had a Jessops skylight filter on, just to protect the lense.

You think this could be the problem?

[poah]

is the lens a digital lens?


if not then it could be ghosting due to the head lamps.

Some thoughts on filters and flare.
