glare with the sun in the back

[luchau]

Bonjour, hello.
Firsts fly with my Mavic 3. I have the normal neutral filter on. It's clean.
I have something like a glare on images on a certain angle but the sun is in my back!
I check the lens and it's ok.
Very strange. I fly another time with the same problem.
Any idea?
Best regards

I'm not seeing any problems with these photos. And, you should never use ND filters for still photography. There's no advantage and a big disadvantage in that your shutterspeed will be slower, potentially yielding less sharp images.

Thank you for this information.That's exactly this problem.
And unfortunately it happens two times in different locations.

Yes I agree . It's the normal filter that is on the caméra out of the box.
And the problem is the white spot in the lower part of the image.
Paw send me to an older post with an answer:
it can be that: Heiligenschein - Wikipedia

I have seen this in modern movies. At the theater. Made by professional film crews.

It’s not the last time you’ll see that. Normal.

As others have mention it is a ‘halo’ and often called Heiligenschein in German. It’s a normal optical phenomenon where the light from the sun is being reflected directly back into the camera lens. You’re most likely to see it where there is moisture on the ground, for example in fields with grassy crops. The drops of moisture (dew etc.) focus the light back in the direction it came from - in this case back towards the sun where your drone is hovering.

Very interesting.
The shots where made in the south-west of France in Jurançon vineyard. Grassy, morning dew...

As others have said there is nothing wrong with your M3 and that this is natural off of wet surfaces. The mistake I made recently when shooting a 21-image panorama was to have the sun in some of the pano images. When using photomerge in Photoshop it makes the sky look horrible since the reflections are in different locations in each image. I may try to clone these reflections out prior to merging and see if that works.

You should "rarely" use ND for still photos, not "never".

They're are very useful is you're wanting to show motion (cars moving, waterfalls flowing, etc.) when you're shooting stills in bright let scenes.

this can be easily fixed in photoshop with the clone tool

Once I realized it was an interesting optical phenomena I liked it .
