[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 31273, member: 654"] The only thing I see that may have caused that dark circle is the Active D-lighting. It may have been trying to compensate for shadow detail where the bright sun just overpowered the effect. Active D-Lighting is used primarily for back lighted subjects where you want more detail in the shadows. This is definitely not a subject for that use. I also see where you took the shot using a -0.3 EV. What was your logic? Shooting a setting sun overexposure is a big problem. That is usually handled with the f/stop, shutter speed and ISO settings. A -0.3 EV would have very little effect. Using a neutral density filter, in this case about two stops, probably would have helped with the over exposure problem and reduced a lot of the glair. Which may have helped with getting rid of the dark circle. Hope this helped. [/QUOTE]
