Halos in photos All was well before and up through the wedding but then inside with flash “as it had been”, she started to get large halos in about the center of each photo. I thought it was a reflection from behind the subject but I was taking from the same angle and I got no halo. Wayne

Based on the shape you describe (octagon) I would suspect that you are seeing internal lens flare imaging the aperture iris diaphram. The picture is a little too small to see clearly, but it looks like there might be something very reflective just out of view to the top. Light reflected from that object could have been causing the lens flare. The color might also indicate a reflection from an uncoated or single coated lens element (multi coated elements have dim greeenish reflections) are you using a protective filter on the front of your lens, and if so is it a high quality multi-coated filter? If it's not multi-coated that could be filter flare.

Unable to see the attachment however: This is a specilized form of flare known as a ghost. When shape of octagon, this is the camera's own iris diaphram. This ghost image caused by strong light near subject like sun or spot or maybe stage lighting. Light comes into the multi-element lens and reflects off glass to air and glass to glass junctions. A lens shade helps but will not always prevent. Photograhy has not yet come of age. Alan Marcus

This happened with different backgrounds also. I was using a lens-filter combo. identical to this one and shooting from the same spot and didn't get this. I thought it was reflection also so she shot from another angle and got the same thing.
