Would appreciate if someone could tell what happened with these photos. This hazy look did not happen on all the photos.
Equipment used - D300 Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 D with Tamaron 1.4 Tele converter
No filters used. Was in P mode just messing around at the zoo.
The same kind of hazy look happened on a few photos the other day with the same lens.
Appreciate any insight you can offer, as I have no idea what I did to cause this , therefore do not know how to avoid.

Roberta -
To me it looks like you were shooting through glass and the camera caught some of the reflection in the glass.
The only time I get that look with my D300 is when I'm shooting through a car window (rolled up) or the window of my house.

It would be nice if you'd shrink your photos a little, they are real bandwith suckers. :)
Looks like something right in front of the lens, maybe?

Were you shooting through a glass partition?
Were you shooting into the light? It looks like good ol' fashioned glare.

Flare from chain linked fence?

Did your equipment was moved from places with different temperatures / humidity in a short period?
Sometimes you get condensation on the elements and you have to wait until it dryes

I've made a quick version for you. I have set W&B points in NX2 & pulled down a tad of the brightness of the shot. With the RAW file I can probably do better. You have my e-mail, so if you want to send me the RAW file - please do.
I think you have glass in front of you & that interferes.... But this might look a tad better to you....
How does this look to you?

Sorry for the size of the files.
Not shooting through glass , out in the open.
It was sunny, but the sun was to my side, not shooting into it. Had lens hood on.
Had been outside for well over one hour shooting, when these were taken so no condensation.
The orangutan enclosure is out in the open. I had the lens pointed down as he as sitting my the side of his enclosure.

Just curious if the pictures are like this when you remove the Tamaron 1.4 Tele converter.
