Question about filters and candles and the moon
My POTD yesterday was birthday cake photo. Every time I've taken a pick of candles I get ghosting. I was assuming that was because I had a UV filter on. Is that right? The first time I noticed the ghosting was when I was taking telephoto pics of the moon. It was so weird because every photo had a very strong image of the moon in completely the wrong place! Took me a while to work out what had happened. I thought my lens was faulty!!
I keep forgetting to take off the filter to check that it is the cause of the problem.
My photo is here: Garry's 55th

that is exactly correct! I posted that somewhere here last week I believe. Not sure where though. It took me a while to figure out too

Oh, gosh! They're just chocolate frogs, lol. I didn't realize they're only in Australia! Every now and then I refer to something and take for granted it's universal!!

That sounds like something out of Harry Potter. :-) Delicious too.
