Quartenary and Star Filters


Every picture I try to take using these filters creates hundreds of lines across the image, I cannot seem to get the cross or stars to be as "tight", as opposed to extending across the entire screen? How does one do this?

  I think a lot has to do with the focal length/your distance from the light and the size of the light. The filters also come in different "points" such as cross, 4 point, etc..
