The Longmynd - Olympus Trip

[Andrew Cotterill]

I took my Olympus Trip35 up on the Longmynd in Church Stretton on Thursday, and this is some of what I took. Some of the shots in very bright light have had to be brutally cropped to get rid of what I think might be the light reflecting off the shutter onto the inside of the UV filter.

These aren't my entry for the competition, btw, I have other shots for that

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, these are beautiful, so I look forward to seeing your competition shots.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

wow - loving that first one especially

 

[Beth Carter]

stunning scenery in the first two. wonderful series.

 

[Darren Bradley]

Very nice views, indeed. I am looking forward to the competition shots!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Very nice!
Ditch the filter if its causing you issues ... It was pointed out to me once that they often do more harm than good ... I tend to agree!
can I see an uncropped shot? Just interested to see the problem

This is what my faulty Tip photos look like without cropping:

I've got a few like this:




but this one...

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, ditch that filter ASAP

Yeah, ditch that filter ASAP

Thanks Hamish! I've got a lens cap for it now, so filter not required (just got to remember to take it off!) . Plus I've stopped using filters with the VitoBs as was having similar problems (although that could be a shutter problem, as they persist in one particular Vito)
