Camera Flare and a Celebration

Hope everyone enjoyed their Mothers Day. I want to let you know that tomorrow a couple of my bloggy friends and I are going to be having a bit of a celebration. It’s going to be fun and there may be some giveaways involved. So you need to come and celebrate with us!

I have been trying to capture the sun’s rays, or flare. It can be challenging. It’s a lot of fun to see how much of it that you can get. The tips I have read always say,

make sure you see it in your view finder.

Some times there is a surprise and you get more then one.

No, I don’t have stuff in my coffee.

The light was coming in through the screen and left little colorful reflections. 

You can see it better when you zoom in.

 

To get the more defined sunburst type of flare I used a higher aperture.

f22 I believe.

So look up and try to catch a little sun in your lens. Just don’t stare at it too long.

There is an article here at MCP Actions that gives great tips. 

Also,  the Pioneer Woman has one too that was very helpful. 

Sometime you need to read a few different articles for something to click. 

So don’t stop at one.

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow. Grab a glass of wine or beverage of your choice and come and celebrate with us.
