I've just finished making a moth trap and have taken a few shots. But I'm getting a ghost of the bulb which is really puzzling me. At first I thought it might be because I'd left my UV filter on, but still getting the ghost without it.
Anybody got any ideas what's causing it and any tips to avoid it?

It's a Nikon D-60 and a 18-55mm lense.

Thanks,

Andrew

I suspect it's a reflection inside the lens.

If so, the simplest solution would be to put the light in the middle of the picture.

Give that a try, and see whether that resolves it!

Thanks Adrian - that could be the answer - simple too. Will try it.

Have you got a UV or Skylight filter on the front of the lens? try removing that.
