Having a desire to snag a dramatic night photo of the searchlight signals in Old Monroe, Mo. was always on my to-do-list.
On this night, it worked out perfectly with the high clouds racing overhead and the glow of the city lights in the distance. I even got a little help with the cold weather because some of the folks in town had fires burning. Their smoke after filtering through the air was thin enough to help create the perfect flare from the signals' light.

I slid with this photo two Sundays ago by adding a sky. This week, I am adding a flare.

Sunlight's atmospheric transmittance is high here in California. Vivid lens flare often appears when I hold my camera with my regular 50mm f/1.8 lens to the sunlight. With my new lens, Helios 44-2, the flare appears even under weaker sunlight. At sunset, flare is often doubled, or even more like seen in this photo.
The only train between Atlanta and Greenwood on this morning, M583, and its duo of MACs pass below the feed mill at Howie, just outside of Comer, GA.

Technically not perfect, but who cares? Here we're taking about photography as an art, about e-mo-tion! Let's never forget it, little geeks ;-)
Looking up at the Temple of Jupiter, part of the Roman ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon. Taken with a Canon 5D4 and the 16 - 35mm lens which produces a lovely flare in the right conditions.
Apologies for my absence lately; I don't have as much time for Flickr at the moment as I would like to ... it turns out that 2024 will most likely going to be a bit bumpy and challenging at work. So I might be absent for some days every now and then.
I hope you are all doing fine ♡
And yes, I am longing for springtime and sunshine, too !
Happy (Flare) Friday ... and let's embrace imperfection : ))
Great Northern Railway Historical Society's SD45 400 was the first 3600 h.p. turbo-charged 20 cylinder 645E3 production model EMD SD45 diesel electric locomotive built.
GN 400 was delivered in May 1966 and is in operable condition. In 2006 it was at WSOR's Horicon Shops to get a repaint.
Gas flare :- At oil and gas extraction sites, gas flares are similarly used for a variety of startup, maintenance, testing, safety, and emergency purposes. In a practice known as production flaring, they may also be used to dispose of large amounts of unwanted associated petroleum gas, possibly throughout the life of an oil well ( from WIKI )
Sometimes when you're juggling tripod position, camera settings, filters and sellotape, mirror lockup and remembering to cover the eyepiece, you just clean forget to hold a piece of card or your hand in front of the element... But another 'happy accident' I quite like :)
I do love lens flares; can't help it : ))
There's a children's merry-go-round in the background, creating that colourful bokeh
Happy Weekend !

I was setting up to take some sunset shots of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands in San Francisco, California when I noticed a pretty cool scene was unfolding behind me. The only problem was that I was getting some serious sun flare which is usually something I tried to avoid. To me it’s like a dust spot and I despise dust spots. However, in this case I thought it looked kind of cool so I left it in. Like a waiter at Chotchkie’s, sometimes you got to just embrace the flare.
