Check out the fringe on that!

A photo (33% crop shown here) of a dog, strongly backlit, taken by a nikon d70 with f2.8 80-200mm lens.

No PS (apart from crop)

Check out the crazy fringing, never seen it before or since! Its there in the RAW file too... (duh)

Has anyone had it this bad? Why is it here and not in the several thousand other pictures I've shot with my D70... (a thousand plus with the 80-200mm)?

Its cool...good thing I did'nt really want the shot

Woah!

I sometimes get bizarre colours like this when shooting into very bright light.

I think it's more to do with the optics than the camera... Or at least the purple stuff is... Dunno what the blue stuff is :s

Interesting, and yes I agree that it much more likely to be the optics than the camera. However, the Nikon 80-200 has some of the best optics of any lens ever made. I think it was probably unavoidable given the light direction.

The Nikkor 80-200 f2.8?
Yeah, I think that no matter how hot the optics, if you point it into bright light you're gonna get crap like this :/

OT but is it just me or does the dog look like it's smoking?

Kind of looks like a moire effect.

 

[Jotun]

Does nobody else think it could be due to the water reflecting the light?

 

[Raymond Lin]

i've never seen that effect before !

And being an OcUK judge, I have thought you would have seen everything that could go wrong with a picture - just from looking at our entries every month!

The purple stuff at the bottom looks like CA, unavoidable due to the very bright light.

That blue stuff at the top looks almost certainly like a digital error. No idea what caused that considering its a .raw.

It does a bit, doesn't it.

Have you tried opening the file in a different RAW converter?

Most people post their best stuff though.

As for the purple flare, what do you expect, you used a Nikon.
