  • valiii - editing advice, halo around aircraft - Nikon

    Hello Jetphoto Community

    Recently, I have severe problems with my Nikon D7100 and Nikkor 80-400mm 4.5 - 5.6 objective, in some light conditions creating dark halo around the aircraft. This is visible only when activating the function "check for dust" after uploading the photo. I use Lightroom for editing, taking care of not pushing up the darks too much.
    I suspect that the objective is relatively old and might need a deep clean. What else can I do?

    Check option D-Lightning in your camera and turn it off. Also halos are effects of highlights and clarity in LR

      Nothing to do with your lens (objective), and everything to do with settings/editing. As mentioned, D-lighting is a common culprit for Nikon users, and when editing features like shadow/highlight, clarity, vibrance, de-haze are suspect. Try editing a new version from the raw file with all sliders set to 0, and you will almost certainly see the halos disappear.

        Yes, confirmed through my own experience. Really a pain in the rear side in avphotography especially with newer digital N-cameras...
