More information would be useful. F stop, focal length, filters in camera. Anything else in lens?

The Lens Shade on my 18-140 has notches cut out of both sides. If I put my finders in those notches when set at 18mm I get the blocks you show.

Lens hood on incorrectly?
Camera strap dangling in front of the camera?

Camera info in Exif: 1/200 sec @ f8, Aperture Priority, Lens 18-140mm shot at 18mm (35mm equiv = 27mm). Camera = D7100
Still looks like Lens Hood problem especially on 18mm.

My daughter has a somewhat similar problem with the lens hood on her D7200. The hood is fine until she uses the built-in flash. Then she gets a shadowy arc on the bottom of the photos. The solution for that is obvious - remove the hood.
I don't know if that would work or not in this case, but it's worth a try.

True, with some lenses a hood will cast a shadow when using the built in flash. In fact, some longer focal length lenses will cast a shadow even with no hood. However, that is not the problem in this case. The problem, as already recognized by other posters and by the OP, is an improperly installed hood. Note that the effected areas are 180 degrees apart, one in an upper corner and the other in the opposite lower corner.

When my photos come out looking like yours --- It's always the lens hood not being fully clicked on ---

Nice to find an easy-to-correct solution. Filters can sometimes cause the same problem at very wide angles.

It's already been said a few times, it's the lens hood. It has probably come loose a little and slipped to one side. I'm speaking from experience :)

For the photos already taken, cropping is the obvious answer but if you want to save he whole image, it could be easily fixed with Photoshop Elements Clone Stamp.

The built in flash isn't designed for use with zoom lenses with lens hoods.
