Night Photography


When taking night shots, I am getting reversed upside down reflections on the finished slide. I guess its the UV filter that never comes off. What do you think?

  I think you've got it! The reverse upside down reflection is the light bouncing between surfaces of glass and without a doubt, one of them is the UV filter. I suggest either removing the filter under these conditions, or getting a high quality multi-coated UV if you really want to leave one. I changed to coated, some multi-coated, UV's (B+W and Heliopan). The problem with low light night shots having reversed upside-down reflections disappeared!
