Flare Fridays
View allAll Photos Tagged flare
While taking photographs of the Aurora Borealis, we saw a bright flare produced by an Iridium satellite. The flare lasted only a few seconds.
This image was taken in the village of Ersfjordbotn, on the island of Kvaloya in the municipality of Tromso in Troms county, Northern Norway.
Happy New Year and thank you for your comments.

#sliderssunday
Old photo, fresh slider: One of those cloudscapes/sunsets where one goes "Wow!", grabs the camera, and runs out onto the balcony to take a photo. Well, at least I do ;) We had a few of those sunsets this summer and early autumn, but since the house is still scaffolded and the (freshly galvanized) balcony parapets aren't properly re-installed, yet, the balcony is off-limits – so I had to dig into my archives to satisfy this certain "Sunday sunset slider mood".
Photographed with the little Lumix LX100 that is capable of taking quite nice light- and sunstars – and that is also a little prone to flares, but I rather liked this rainbow flare, so I decided to keep it in the image. Just like the airplane with its vapour trail which looks a little like a shooting star – wishful thinking, I know ;). And since it's (Sliders) Sunday, I also tweaked the sky's colours in Color Efex Pro – the original colours were mostly blue with some gold tones and hints of purple in the clouds, but the sunstar was already brightly orange in the Raw file. It's just a fun shot that I thought should finally see the light of day. I hope you like it.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
Altes Foto, neuer Slider. Normalerweise schnappe ich mir die Kamera und renne auf den Balkon, wenn ich einen besonders schönen Sonnenuntergang (oder besonders interessante Wolken) sehe. Da unser Haus aber immer noch eingerüstet ist und die frisch verzinkten Balkongitter noch nicht wieder fest und sicher montiert sind, ist der Balkon weiterhin tabu – also musste ein Archivfoto für den Sliders Sunday her. Eins, das ich mit der kleinen Lumix LX100 gemacht habe, die in der Lage ist, recht schöne Licht- und Sonnensterne zu fabrizieren. Flare-anfällig ist sie dabei auch ein wenig, aber wenn dabei so ein hübscher kleiner Regenbogenfleck herauskommt, bleibt er im Bild, genau wie das Flugzeug mit seinem Kondensstreifen, das ein wenig wie eine Sternschnuppe aussieht – Wunschdenken, ich weiß. Aber Ihr könnt Euch ja trotzdem was wünschen :)
Für Sliders Sunday habe ich in Color Efex ein wenig an den Farbreglern gedreht. Die Originalfarben des Himmels waren überwiegend noch blau mit ein paar goldenen Highlights und einem Hauch von Lila. Aber der Sonnenstern war schon im Original leuchtend orange. Ein reines Spaßfoto, das mal an der Reihe war. Ich hoffe, es gefällt Euch.
Habt einen guten Start un die neue Woche und passt gut auf Euch auf!
Acorn Woodpecker coming for a visit from its home in the oak grove (top right corner of image) which is about 150 meters up slope from my property. I estimate around 12 - 15 birds live in that small grove.

I bought this vintage lens to play with flare photography. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. This is one of my favorites from a few years ago.
Crazy Tuesday - theme of April 19, 2022: Lens Flare(s)
deliberate lens flares - taken with the manual vintage Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 - wide open
I have noticed only now that this manual lens creates its erratic flares more easily with the older K-5 than with the K-70 (my current camera). Maybe due to the different sensors (missing low pass filter?) ... I don't know.
Has been fun nonetheless : ))
Will try it again with the K-5 though (didn't have the body with me this weekend)

September 3pm hour. A mesmerizing treasure trove of golden sunshine sparkles appeared in the water as I was walking around Ventura Harbor. Then in the fresh ocean breeze, along came a stand-up paddleboarder, unencumbered and uncluttered. After swirling through the sparkles like a lightweight nomad, he turns and looks back. I wonder if he saw the same thing I did. Anyway, it looks like he was freely enjoying the afternoon and I hope he goes home happy.
To be here was such a treat. I wanted a picture with boats for my 'Hours' picture because I was born in September in the 3pm hour on what is now 'International Talk Like A Pirate Day', so it worked out well. Arrr, Matey!
September is so lovely and it will transition into Fall before we know it. As Summer fades, it leaves its door open just a little...
Thank you again for your patience, my Flickr friends. I'm still off and on for awhile longer.

It was 3 am in the morning and the ground was pitch dark.
It needed several shots and re-shots to get a more or less acceptable shot.
If the lens was sharper the output could have been definitely better

This morning I watched a small group of Yellow-rumped Warblers hunting for flies. They are quite the acrobats in midair.
A wild daisy and some nice sunshine lens flare.
