reflection in the lenses when shooting sunsets I´ve made a beautiful picture of sunset a few weeks ago. However, since it is necessary to shoot diretcly into the sun, I`ve noticed a reflection (another sun) near to the real one! It is obvious that the reflection was created in the lens. Is there any way to avoid such occurrences? Is the answer in more expensive lenses (the lens I`ve made the picture is CANON EF 75-300)or not? Lens hood is, naturally, out of the question, since the sun is straight ahead of the lens!

Even though the sun is straight on in this situation, a lens hood is not naturally out of the question. It can still help, and certainly can do no harm. The second image is referred to as "ghosting" and is similar to lens flare. It is an internal reflection(s) of the diaphram. Typical when shooting into the sun with a zoom lens with many lens element surfaces. Many will include it as a special effect. If you don't want it in the picture pay special attention when setting up the shot, it should be visible in the viewfinder. Slight adjustments in shooting angle can minimize it, as can using smaller aperture setting.
