Vignetting
Vignetting is a darkening towards the
corners of the image, most conspicuous
in even-toned areas like clear skies. Most
lenses show slight vignetting at maximum
aperture, but it should reduce on stopping
down. Like most faults, it can be tackled
in post-processing. Severe vignetting can
arise if you use unsuitable lens hoods and
filter holders, or “stack” multiple filters
on the lens.
VIGNETTE
A strong vignette effect was added
in post-processing; along with the
monochrome treatment, it gives this
recent digital shot an antique look.

Lens care
Lenses require special care. Glass elements
and coatings are easily scratched and this
will degrade your images. Remove dust
and dirt with a blower. Fingerprints and
other marks should be removed using a
dedicated lens cleaner and optical grade
cloth. A skylight or UV filter (see page 208)
will help protect the lens, and lens caps
should be replaced when the lens is not
in use.
