I suggest you try it with another camera. You are correct in noticing that all the streaks of light are at the same 45 degree angle no matter how the camera is held. That's why I think it may be some "physics" principle involved. Yep. See my answer above, and the formula at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_source. There are many other photos taken with the same camera but under daylight lighting where these streaks do not happen so it's not the camera. Some of those photos are here. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho....php?t=1181089 And he http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho....php?t=1181289 So it's not the camera or the lens except under those lighting conditions. I was assuming there is something weird in the physics of the lighting that causes those sleet like streaks always at 45 degree angles and far from being a mere reflection. -- PeterN |

That's one possibility eliminated. I think it's an issue of pint source lighting. -- PeterN |

I wiped the lens because that's the first thing I had thought also. Anyways, it doesn't happen on pictures that don't have that lighting situation, even at the same time. There's something about the lighting combined with the way cameras work. This is the light fixture that I use as my mobile shop light. https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368...ight1.jpg.html "Image light1.jpg don`t exist on our server!" - which I find frustrating as I don't know what everyone else is talking about. I bought it at a yard sale where it was claimed to be a photography light. Is that a typical photography light? Currently it has a curly bulb inside a floodlight fixture (PR-something). What bulb do you normally put in those photography lights? -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Is there an easy way to stop this light scatter sparkling in all my photos & videos of engine valves. What specifically is causing all the ghosting and sparkling? I'm using just a shop light and a mobile phone to video (without flash) and photograph (with and without flash) an engine problem where all the photos have this shiny glare no matter what angle I put the light or phone with respect to the valves - and whether or not I use flash. https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay1.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay2.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay3.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay4.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay5.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay6.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay7.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay8.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368..._bay9.jpg.html https://www.turboimagehost.com/p/368...bay10.jpg.html The original thread is here, where it also contains video with the same problem, but the photos above show the problem enough. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1181089 Is there an easy way to stop this light scatter ghosting in all my photos & videos of engine valves. Haven't read all the replies but my first question would be: is your lens impeccably clean? |
