Hi everyone,
I just tried a few night shots and I have a pink dot under the moon can anyone maybe tell ,me what it is, or what I did wrong?
I used my new 7 d so I do not think it is a hot pix prob!

I would say (100% sure) it is an internal reflection from the lens elements.

A Russian rocket?:)

It is probably the brightness of the moon creating a reflection in your lens.
There's a name for it that doesn't come to mind.

Flare?

Sorry! I was thinking of 1970s pants:rolleyes:

Thanks guys for your help.
But if it is the lens I can do a little about it exept try another lens. Might try with my 50mm lens!
Hi ameerat42 ,
yes it would be nice if you could fix the knight to night :o!
Cheers klaus!

You can try a lens hood...

You're all wrong, it's the Millennium Falcon.

Thanks ameerat I will try that.
I tried yesterday also my 50mm lens, same thing. Looks like that I have to stamp it out in PP :(! I will see, I get my daughter for the 40 D a canon 18 - 55 today, will try that lens to night and see if I have then the same prob again!

Hakka, I don`t think it is your bird, it always stays on the same position! but thanks for your help ;)!

Cheers Klaus!

Are you using a filter on your lenses?

I would agree on the flare/internal reflection/refraction.

A lens hood could probably help depending on the angle of your lens during the shot - give it a try.

Maybe check there's no scratches or marks on the lens too - never know. :confused013

Hi David,
no, there is no scratch on the lens, but I will try the lens hood option.
Cheers Klaus!
