So the other day I was shooting Fall Out Boy for the Pepsi Super Bowl Smash, I did not have a long lens and this was a soundboard shoot. My buddy let me borrow his 300 that he had, and it had a filter on it, I am anti-filter because of ghost flares and other reasons, but this time since it was not my lens and he was next to me I left it on because he prob is the percentage of people that use it for protection and would probably yell at me if he saw me trying to take it off. Well Surprise surprise, when I was checking out the shots of their light up guitars there was clear evidence of the ghost flare caused by the filter. The only reason I am posting this is because most people have never seen what it looks like, and do not know what to look for. so here it is. the flare is in the big red circle.
