Mark on photos
I recently purchased a Canon Rebel XTI. This is my first SLR and I am learning to use it. I have noted that when I take photos in sunshine I am getting a mark on the photo almost. This is more obvious where I have used an Ultraviolet filter on the lens (almost like a reflection of the filter). Could there be something wrong with the camera or is this a technique problem. All the photos I am talking about are exposure between 200-250 & f8-f10. I am attaching four images to illustrate and have circled the mark in red.

The pictures didn't load, but almost certainly it is due to flare and ghosting - reflections of the sun off the sensor and lens elements. And it is probably worse due to use of the UV filter.

Like Jon says, Nadia: it's probably 'flare'.How to avoid flare: 1) don't shoot into the sun, 2) use filters only when absolutely neccessary, 3) use a lens hood at ALL times!

Unless you WANT flare.
