  Excellent examples of lens flare. I have been exploring lens flare on the iphone, and I would be interested in doing a guest post.

  By the way I follow your posts, especially the weekly ones on what’s interesting in photography. Thanks for sharing.

  Lens flare looks great, but I agree – it’s best when it happens naturally. I’ve found iphone photos can accidentally end up with amazing lens flare effects (due to the crappy lens I guess!) Here’s an iphone one of mine http://www.site.mwpics.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3728.jpg

  And there’s a really nice one in this gallery – in fact, when I look through my galleries I realise I seem to use it quite a lot.

  Like tilting the camera and other goofy shenanigan’s, this is hopefully a passing fad. I’m surprised that it is still being employed.

  To quote C.J. Chilvers,

  “If you can’t say what you need to say in a photograph without
  heaping layers of software filters or resorting to the latest
  trends in post processing, you’re probably not saying much
  of anything.”

  There are so many creative ways to use sun flare – thanks for the post! I’m always looking for fun ways to incorporate into wedding photography.

  I’ve always liked lens flare. It adds drama. People hate on lens flare because they associate it with over processing. When done like the examples above, I think its gorgeous!
