April Project........lens flare

Using flare intentionally

Thank you for the idea, LightBright.

Should be a challenge for most of us. I've never done it on purpose.

Oh, this should be interesting

Ooh me, me, me lol

I'll try to get some new one's too :thumbsup:

here's my favorite lens flair photo.

to note the cars name means "of the sun", i feel the photo makes it feel as if the car is coming from the sun

Sometimes mistakes make for pleasant surprises.
And you don't have to tell on yourself!:rolleyes:

OK here are a few.

A few from today....

A couple more.

Would have liked a bit more flare in these two. Oh well, I'll just have to go back and try again :D

I don't like when it happens but then again it does. I will have to look for some more.

Some good stuff people. Didn't know what I'd get with this for a subject but all of your expertise is coming through.

Alison, love that holding the sun shot. Your my heroine!

I think I have lots of examples in my library somewhere but nothing yet from this month.

I did try to create one last night with my MIG welder. Darn anti-reflecting lens coatings - where's the flare when you need one :p

Loupey I wonder what this shot would have looked like if you tried it with the shielding gas off.

Rare image, Danica Patrick not running from fans but signing!

From the archives. I don't have many, actually. Hm...will look, maybe on tomorrow's shoot I can try for some flare (hey, even I can do the minimum).
