Sure enough, that's why I'm here. Funnily enough I just managed to scrape together the cash and got a decent lens, but sadly the kit lens will still be my work horse for the next year or so.

What do you do about condensation causing issues? I can't exactly stuff my lens with cotton wool or rice. Then again... no, I can't think of a way to make that work.

Are you sure that's the issue? This is from literally a few minutes later, and no flare. i did suspect it myself, but I just wanted to rule out anything else, so I can get rid of the issue full stop, or minimize it.

You shouldnt be photographing at night. Wait until daytime when the sun is in the sky to give you the light required to be captured by the cameras sensor. Look up what the word photography means.

That shot would look way better during the day. No sense of depth or scale there. Unrealistic colours and massive loss of detail in the underexposed areas.

Canon doesn't have the best dynamic range on their sensors, I would imagine it's happening because the sensor doesn't handle highlights well.
That, or your lens is shit

It was condensation. But condensation like the kind that forms on eyeglasses going from two different temperatures. The reason the other picture didn't have the flares was because the glass had adapted to the new temp.
