I was taking your standard issue "kid and a BD cake with candles" pictures for my Helen's 14th birthday. Shots were taken, candles were blown and the images brought to my Dell. It was then when I realized that an (el cheapo) UV filter on top of my 50mm f/1.8 played an interesting trick with me:

I didn't count on this, and I didn't notice it when shooting - but I sure do like the effect :):

Shoot them while they are young! :1drink

    Very cool effect, Nik. I bet you're already thinking of what other shots would work with this! I hope you try to duplicate the effect and let us know if it works. thumb.gif
