Lens flare gets dumped on in a big way, especially here. Why not have a challenge where lens flare MUST be part of the image? Get out those crappy flary lenses and go nuts!

Dang, Beagle, I might have to break out the Fuji 4900z for this one. I ain't got no bad glass for the 20D :-) I like the idea though :-)

hey that just reminded me of how they did the lens flare on the new nike commercial that is about to come out w/ sharapova , A Rod and Justin somebody ( a runner for the US olympic team). Pretty cool check it...

As the camera would dolly past the athlete an electrician would slowly dim on a little MR-16 attached to the top corner of the matte box and as the would be sun exited the frame the guy would then dim it down again. This would create a precise flare, i mean it was the color they wanted and it came in and out as they desired without worrying about actual placement of the sun.. Cool huh?

ps-the commercial is not out yet. we just finished shooting it this past wednesday.

Could somebody please post an example with lens flare? Not sure I can get my brain wrapped around the concept this morning... Sigh. I guess I need to exchange it for a new one!

It'll be the classic case of now that you want flare, you can't make your lens do any!

I LOVE lens flare. I don't know why more people don't!



And one photo from this site that I LOVE that's all about the flare.

This was an attempt to violate several rules in one photo.

That's a pretty good idea for a challenge. Probably won't be able to create when we actually want it! LOL

This pick got crapped on in the color portrait challenge... guess why...
And

it was taken with the 70-200 f/4L , proving that you can get falre without the use of "bad glass"

Put a cheap UV filter on your good glass?

I like this idea for a challenge.



I used lens flare here. A few voters didn't like it. But I did.

I liked this one, but didn't do well in a strong challenge:

Ya know, this challeng would be the time I couldn't get my lens to flare :-)
