Anyone know of a place I can go to help me understand lens reflections?
Lens reflections are caused by the way light interacts with different surfaces. When light hits a surface, some of it is absorbed while the rest is reflected. The angle at which the light hits the surface and the properties of the surface itself determine how much light is reflected.
Lens reflections can cause unwanted glare or flares in an image, which can reduce the overall quality. They can also decrease contrast and sharpness in the image.
Lens reflections can be minimized by using a lens hood or a lens filter. These can help block out stray light and reduce the chance of reflections. Additionally, using a lens with anti-reflective coatings can also help prevent reflections.
While lens reflections can sometimes be unwanted, they can also add artistic elements to an image. For example, lens flares can create a dreamy or dramatic effect in certain types of photography.
Yes, the shape and design of a lens can affect how much light is reflected. Lenses with more complex designs, such as zoom lenses, may be more prone to reflections compared to simple prime lenses. Additionally, the type of glass used in the lens can also impact its reflection properties.
