Can anyone explain the unusual circles on the right hand side of this image?
I doubt whether it's come from the 200-400 or light refraction? I've only noticed it when PP my images.
Perhaps it's just smoke circles from the plane?
Any ideas?



Cheers

Great capture! Do these circles appear in other photos taken with the same lens?

I think it's some weird creature from another dimension.

Tilt your head to the right, and then have another look ... you'll see that there are two bright white circles, and there's also a lighter, and larger, circle around the uppermost of these two. Not so much a full circle, but an arc .... that's the left eye of the creature.

Now, look down (with your head tilted, that's towards the lh side of the image) and you'll see a darker splotch below and to the right of the eye - that's the nose. Below that, and to your left, you should now be able to see the creature's mouth .... sort of like a fox's or canine mouth.

I don't know what is sadder, the fact that you saw that Gary or the fact that I can now see it after reading your description only once!

I dunno Mark, they are very bright, how prominant are they in the un-edited one?

Mysterons.

Sorry, am I not helping?

How about the fact that you actually looked?

What can I say, I'm easily influenced to take a closer look at things

Crop circles?
It's not in any other image with this lens, that's for sure.

Certainly still bright enough to notice

Smoke rings, like a filthy smoker can sometimes blow. Due to air flow and turbulence. I doubt there is anything wrong with your lens. There is something wrong with Gary's mind though.

Yeah just smoke ring blown out the exhaust, engine probably had a burp when it went inverted.

Posted at 5.34pm Isn't that a bit early for a Gary?

They look like water marks.

either wingtip vorticies or exaust-nothing strange about it at all.
cheers.
