Lens flare... again :(

Thanks for your help guys, and thank you for the edit Jaszek! I didn't use any filters or a hood. I might try using a polariser (the only filter I have) next time, if it's gonna help any.

Don't get me wrong, the reason I ask about the filter was because the lens flare maybe caused by the filter. The coatings in your lens will try to minimize it. However, it is tough to eliminate it, I think.

So I believe it is better off taking the photo without any filter.
