Ok, I was taking picture of the esplande. At first, I did not notice this small little object under the bridge (to your right) as I was fully concentrating on the esplanade. When i transffered to my comp, this object totally scared me off as I thought its a DINOSAUR!!! as there are two eyes and some huge body! Maybe it seems silly but could someone pls tell me what is this small little object? Is it a real dinosaur

or just some light effects as I was doing long exposure!

orrrrrrrrr.......which spirits have you offended now that come back to haunt your photo.....

I think I can guess though, you probably annoyed the lens spirits, who have sent lens flare from bright light sources (at an angle) to corrupt your photo

You see the small bright light just above it? It seems to be just at the right angle, the flare is between the light and where the light hits the water. Not ALL bright light sources will flare, as lens manufacturers put in a lot of work to suppress flare, but entry level lenses and uncoated filters have less of this treatment and are more susceptible.

I was shooting some months ago with a 18-55 lens and also experienced something similar though not as 'artistic' as your dinosaur

So how do you appease the lens spirits....

Buy expensive lens lor
