A Photo a Week Challenge: Flare
Sun and lens flares can be annoying, but I like it. Flare can add a wonderful hazy, sleepy feeling to an image, a touch of magical unreality. I often shoot directly into the sun to create flare and to cause rays on sunlight. When I’m a little lucky or clever, I get both. This is natural flare. No filters, no special effects. Just the early morning sun in Autumn in Vermont.
This is my favorite flare image.

New England in October. It’s why we go through January and February. Hey, we’ve gotten 50 inches of snow in the past 10 days. It looks like Siberia here!

You just have to shoot straight into the sun, then move slightly off. You actually can control the flare and the rays of the sun, at least somewhat. It’s fun 🙂
