try iso 100.
And keep the high Fs.
 
Do you have a lens hood?

small fstop number would do it yes?

That's what I do!
 
the first image is f/29. i cant go smaller than that...but maybe i need to and i cant?

thanks everyone for the replies!!!!!!!!
 
Tight apertures cause the stars, if you open up your aperture to say, f/1.8, than they will just be white blobs.
 
thanks sw1tch!

if i open the aperture more, the flares are worse, i can show you what i have if youre interested?

i just want the flare gone.
 
yes jermz, there are.
 
I'm wondering if the lights behind you are affecting the shot... only reason I mention it - I had a night shot that a light off to my right side, rear created a nasty flare... a lot of P&P took care of it... but... it was a light behind me causing it... I was pretty close to the light though... just a thought...
 
thanks! i think i was about halfway between light posts. ill see if i cant go back and shoot from the beginning of the path.
