:ange: Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Not dog related... sorry! I got this really different lens flare this afternoon - I've not had anything like it before! Usually I am crap at getting flare.. today the light was amazing! I just wanted to share! It was a fluke.. but a pretty fluke. I am keen to see others with sunflare pics!

~*Shell*~ Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Gorgeous! What a beautiful shot, even if you don't look at the lens flare. Do you mind if i ask what lens you were using and if you had a filter on? We use certain lenses and filters in production to get similar effects. For example, an anamorphic lens will give you star-trek like lens flares in your shots when the sun hits them right (the ones that run along the bottom of the screen like the ones in the most recent star trek movie, though a lot of them were done in post production).

:ange: Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Thankyou! Shell it was with the 85mm 1.2 at f/1.8 - I didn't have a filter on with it. I wish I had been more creative and gotten her to look towards it or done something with her hand.. Hmmm... wonder if I can get it again. LOL How cool! I would love to play with lenses like that one day.. Seriously the light in this location was just to die for.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Very interesting affect, looks great. This is the most colorful sunflare I have had in a photo, it was taken with the same lens as yours funnily enough - I actually put it straight in the reject pile but pulled it out for this thread. It does look a bit ethereal though with the sun shining down on the dog Edited September 27, 2011 by helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I get different flare from each of my lenses. The closest I get to the rainbow type is on the 24mm. I like the flare from the 105mm best though. I'll have to try and find some. I love flare and backlighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~*Shell*~ Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I have a few as well though they're not fantastic. The ones where I get really nice flares tend to not be the best photos lol Taken for a "summer" photo in january for project 365 - special photo bombing appearance by Zero And one of Terranik and Ahsoka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemesideways Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 rickysunshineleap2 by lovemesideways, on Flickr I did this one on purpose Playing with the light, SO hard to get the focus happening with the dog jumping around in front of me and then sun in my eyes.

As to your new camera fear, I understand exactly how you feel. When I first bought my Canon 400D I was too scared to take it out of the box! It's just taking that first step. Sit down, unpack it all and then put it on the table and get your manual out. It will be set out so that it shows you how to charge up the battery, there'll be diagrams of what all the buttons are. Just start playing around taking photos, and keep the manual with you, so if you get bamboozled you can refer back to it. Most of all, have fun!

Guest muttrus Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I cried when I opened it mind you our daughter was also in tears as she opened harry potter lego for the xbox hahahhahah I read the manual over and over at least it was all in english . The beach has been great for showcasing our dogs and I think our best shots have come from there that was one of the reasons I wanted this camera so I could capture them running from a distance our beach is a dog beach after 6pm so the lighting is great and theres hardly anyone there at that time so I can focus on the dog in the landscape . I get new foster dogs at the end of january I think about 8 so I will start pract now :D Seems like I may become annoying next year on this thread but its nice to be able to talk with others in real time and ask for tips/help but also to share a passion for animals in photos. If you have time below is a link to the photo albums on my page there are alot of beach ones Im pretty proud of some of my photos and some look even better when used as a destop wall paper http://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=154807711230046 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
