I have no idea really...

Are you using a filter on your lens? wasnt using a filter. hmmm. though, I dont think I had the lens hood on. I am not sure if that matters at night, but there again maybe that's why I have spots. I setup the camera on a tripod, and was prob at least 30 feet away from the building. I was also using the timer to take the shots.

SimonG Goldmember 1,007 posts Joined Jan 2006 Location: Kitchener, ON More info | The lens hood would not have been helpful at reducing flare in this case, since the lights causing the problem are in frame. These spots are definitely caused by the lens though... your technique sounds fine to me. Perhaps try shooting straight on to the building? -- Michael (a.k.a. SimonG)

Perhaps try shooting straight on to the building? thanks for the help in confirming my first guess. looks like I still have a lot of room for improvement on my night shots, but as this was my first attempt I dont feel too bad Canon EOS 7D Mark II • EOS 50D | Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM • EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM • EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM • EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM • EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
