Gahhhhh! Today after taking my first 'real' shots with the new camera i have SUN SPOTS! grrr. ruined some 'good' pics i think:

When looking through my view finder i saw them a little bit, but changed my angle a bit and "thought" it went away. Obviously it didn't.
So (1)Why does this happen and (2) how can you prevent it with out photoshopping it(if you can even PS it....)

thanx!

A.K.

These were probably caused by your UV filter. Try taking similar pics without it to see if that helps. I've had these type of reflections when I used cheaper filters.
