Hey Swillox,

Well, one way you can get starry lights like that is by using what's called a star filter. This filter makes bright light sources in the pictures look like stars. Usually depending on the filter you can get 6 point or eight point stars. Hope that answers your question. Otherwise it might be a product of the lens itself.

thx...
Well I used the lens only... anyway to avoid this ?

[Newby]

Maybe use an anti-glare filter. A regular UV filter should do the trick

[swillox]

You mean simply shooting true a sunglass(es) for example ?


oops wrong forum, just noticed (hope nobody minds)

Basically Yes, just something that can filter out some of the light coming through the lens
