I don't see much on the tree picture but do on the other. If your lens is that dirty, you should be able to see it. Take it off the camera and hold the aperture open and look through the lens.

Also try taking a picture of just sky and show us.

I took three shots of a sky. The second was without the filter on. The third was with a different lens. I can see the same spots in all three pictures. Should be an indication of dirty sensor, right?
I actually think this is fun and interesting as is. Why not keep it and enjoy it?

I will keep it Libby. I just wanted to know the how and why. I there is something wrong with my camera I want to fix it. Does make an interesting photo.
I Like the Rainbow effect, it is so different, lens flair, maybe, maybe it was just meant to be.
Yes, I've taken some "magical" photos before, impossible to duplicate since I have little idea what the precise conditions of lens, light, position were...serendipitous distortions.....but it makes me like them even more. Happily, they don't seem to include anything I need to fix. :0)
Meanwhile it do make a very cool effect!

I realize this is some kind of reflection but I don't know if it was caused by poor light poisition, non-use of a hood on the lens or what. The settings were iso 200, F20, 1/15sec

The only problem with not cleaning the sensor, it will keep getting worst. Pretty soon it will make your pictures blurry.
Erv :D

Just a guess, sunlight passing through ice crystals on the tree being refracted?
This true there is a need for cleaning that was not visible in the first picture but the artifacts are different here than in the first rainbow picture.

I think it was divine intervention from the "sun angel" that Shaky Shutter mentioned.
After reading through all the feed back on what the rainbow effect is, I can only add that what ever it is it certainly looks great. A wonderful natural looking effect.

The spots you more clearly see in the sky -vs- other parts of the image are without a doubt, are some type of particle(s) on your CCD. If you were to view your CCD and then magnify the CCD sensor, you would then see the particles.
The aberration you are seeing is, I believe, a chromatic aberration. The angle of the intense sunlight (rgb light) are angled through the different lens at varying angles. The light is being bent or angled through the lens differently causing the light to break up into varying colors. I hope I conveyed that correctly.
