Hi everyone

I am new here.....

Owned a D70 but i guess i am too green to own this good camera. Wondering why there was dark round circle at the edge of 4 corners when i shot the blue sky? Is it becos i used spot metering?

Can anyone help me or you need more information about the options i used?

Thanks in advance

I believe it's light fall off at the sides due to you shooting at wide open.

It might be also caused by stacking too many filters causing vignetting.

Posting 1-2 shots here for view might help you get to the root of the matter.

Btw, this question should go to Nikon forum for faster response

generally if the dark area are distinct (black), it would be vignetting. if its a gradual fade of luminosity, high chance its light fall off as stated by espn.

Thanks for the reply.

Pai se ma..go to Nikon thread cos people there are expert and i am so new..anyway i also haven't really explore how to post in Nikon thread.

I actually wanted to post my pic but don't know how..read somewhere i need to create some webpage etc etc still figuring how to. Will try soon.

I guess it was due to light fall off at the sides cos i shoot at f/3.5, no filter used.

By the way, what is the best way to shoot beautiful sky?
