Trouble with D50

There's a difference between "flare" and "ghosts". Flare (I think the correct term is "veiling flare") doesn't "show" per se. It shows as a severe lack of contrast, flat-looking images.

Hi,

Can you explain the: "87.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot"

Thanks,
Shay

You need to post a larger image. This one is postage stamp size ;-)

Googled up "veiling flare" and found a number of discussions. Seems to me that veiling flare and over exposure would be hard to differentiate.

Learn something new every day. Thanks.

It is a humorous attempt to poke fun at people who use numbers to support their arguments.

By using the same method (making up a number) the signature show a sly and ironic twist.

Only in theory Get a Tokina 28-70 ATX 2.6-2.8. Shoot in very bright daylight. Put a cheap filter on it (just to make it even more fun!). Try to get a properly exposed shot with some contrast. Delete the resulting [lousy] shots. Now you know what "veiling flare" looks like )

Seriously though, the way to diffenetiate them is when you get a great result with X-shutter-speed-Y-aperture with one lens and get a crappy shot (total lack of contrast) with the same X-Y with another lens, but only on the days with lots of "stray" light - that's flare.
