strange 'artifact' while using welding glass...

[bastic]

Hi,
I went to Iceland last week and as I knew I wanted to take some long exposure shots so I bought welding glass.

Before I went I gave it a go and tested it on my home balcony and everything was just fine....

So I am in Iceland, taking a long exposure photo and I see :

any ideas what could have cause that ??

any ideas welcome

Almost certain that that's light getting in through the viewfinder. Compare it with this

shot which was taken with the viewfinder blind left open and pointed directly at the sun. According to FlickR's properties info, it was 1/10th s, ISO 200 on a D700.

Shame I found it out after coming back and loosing quite a few photos....
But thanks Nod

Will remember that for future

But yes basically, when using long exposures you need to cover the viewfinder to stop light entering.
