I am obsessed with #lensFlares in games. Especially sun flares. The real-world optical systems do some incredibly strange and beautiful things to light, which can only be observed when the lens is hit with insanely strong white light coming from a tiny point. All of that is really happening to all light, but lenses got really good at dampening the internal reflections.
Still - I can't help but spend hours and hours trying to implement a nice looking yet reasonably cheap sun flare...

Bundle up, trudge out, take blizzard photos, hurry back inside, thaw hands, chocolate chip cookie.

A little #monochrome #fireworks fun for this week’s #UrbanGaze. This #TTArtisan 25mm has some fun #LensFlares when the lighting gets intense.

“Halloween II” (1981)

Sunbeams Ahoy!

Chasing that silver light on the water in the 1st photo, and picking the most interesting veil of sunbeams. There were plenty to choose from that day.

After an hour+, the light was still causing issues with the dark clouds and bright sun. Thought I'd show some Fuji lens flare for a change. Full uncropped 2nd pic, minimal processing.
