Actually that's quite a nice shot you've got (at least to me).
Or maybe you got your sun a bit over-exposed.
Sometimes lens flare can add artistic effects to your image too. Probably depends how you compose your picture to get it at the right location :think:
and how about u all
how to handle with the flare?
wat filter u using? brand? if its not a multi coated filter, chances will get flares.
if u want to know if the flare is caused by your filter, just take out your filter and shoot again.
just a normal UV filter lo~
coz i think the hood will do it but no
and i hav a polarising filter
dont know can work or not~
Just read the links people provide you, that will do. Cambridge in Colour is a great website explaining a lot of details. Should be obvious from there under which conditions your hood will help and when not.
There you can also find an article about polarizing filters. Enough to tell you that the polarizing effect will not work here. But (depending on the quality of the CPL) it may work well to get you more flare - which goes into the directions of what Rashkae said: If you can't prevent try to use it.
last time when i bought a polarising filter
the seller got a CPL can shoot in direct sunlight and prevent 90% of light ( sth like that, i'm not sure)==
at that moment i'm still newbie and he say anything i also argee haha
