I went out yesterday afternoon to get a few shots of the big moon we've had visible the past few days. That didn't work out so well, but there was some really cool lightning in the clouds over lake mirror. If someone hadn't bid at the last minute on the vivitar 24mm 2.8 that I thought for sure I'd win for 9.99 on ebay, I would've been shooting with it. But as Luck would have it, I ended up using my Nikon 35mm f1.8.
As I was propping my camera on the concrete handrail; I realized that this photo probably wouldn't really fit the schema of "past glass" but I clicked away. I got up this morning and started looking though the dozens of images, I noticed that they all had some really annoying lens flare. I don't have any examples I can think of from my old lenses where lens flare pretty much ruined the image. I'm blogging about old lenses, lens flare is something that will definitely need to be addressed so I decided to go ahead and use this one.
The horizon is a little off level in this photo as well. I can remember the first time I had that "ah-haa" moment where it occurred to me just how annoying this is. If I'd been in the center of the promenade, I guess this would be straighter, but I'm not going to bother editing the image anymore because of that ridiculous lens flare.
According to wikipedia lens flare can be caused by"material inhomogeneities in the lens" That sounds like it probably has something something to do with quantum entanglement. Even if those who actually have a thorough understanding of quantum entanglement don't currently believe that lens flare is related at all; I surely wont be getting beamed anywhere until I know for certain that I wont show up with atomic lens distortions on my face. Just something to keep in mind.
Anyhow, Good morning Lakeland!
