Lens internal reflection?
Discussion
Hi all
SWMBO bought me the very nice Nikkor 70-300mm VR II zoom lens for my D90. I have been using it for night photography on a tripod to capture the highlights of the local cityscape.
Recently I took this as a test shot:
Please forget the issues that:
1. I have cut the top of the tower off
2. The horizon is not straight
3. The image is a bit fuzzy: don't put your tripod on wood decking as it moves. Also don't try and take pictures from a 33rd floor balcony when the whole building is swaying in the strong wind
My question is: why have I got an inverted ghost image of the blue lights on the tower? I haven't seen this on any of the other pictures I have taken.
Here is the EXIF data for info:
