I did a shoot out in the rain last night with my roomate, playing with my new 430EX, lightsphere, and Cactus V2 transmitters.

On a few shots, I had him hold the flash. They turned out pretty cool, but the flash seems to be showing up twice in the shot, a second time seemingly rotated 180 degrees around the center point. I'm guessing it has to do with light bouncing around inside the lens.

Canon 20D and 50mm f/1.8 shutter of 1/60
No processing yet...

Is there any way this can be avoided?

Thanks!

Looks like you were having fun. :-) I have no idea on the second ghost image, but will watch this thread to see what the answer is.

Were you using a UV filter?

UV lens is always on the lens as protection, and seems to be the culprit

I'll be sure to take it off next time i do shots like this.
