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.

What started out as a very overcast day evolved into a light sprinkle of drizzle followed by a sudden burst of showery downpour; and then came the spectacular late afternoon low sun, blue sky and feathery fleece-like clouds. What a feast for the eyes and soul.
Ps. imagine the sound of tyres driving over wet tarmac; the crows squawking and circling for worms and the sound of birds tweeting between the noise of passing traffic.

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!
A slightly frustrating theme for me... How many times have I heard that enlarging lenses are very prone to flare, because they were never made for outside use etc.
Turns out - that's not true at all for a number of them. I couldn't get some of them to flare in any interesting way, while it seemed easy when I tried it some time ago with a couple of regular taking lenses...Maybe I just need a different approach. At least this Olympus lens helped me out a little bit.

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)

Once more at this overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I had wandered back and forth over the open area. Finally, this single tree caught my attention sitting at the bottom of the image. I was originally going to put my telephoto on, and perhaps I should have, but at the same time, the rest of the scene was lush, beautiful and ready for a shot. I decided to try and capture more of the tree in the foreground leading off into the background. Unfortunately, shooting directly into the sun created a bit of an issue with flaring, but I think I adjusted just enough to get the tree almost framed by it. At the end of the day, this photo has likely my favorite colors within it.

Just approaching 10 years since I was on the Isle of Harris. My favourite lens back then was the Zeiss 21mm which was fabulous but didn't half flare easily!
