Hello everyone! I love sun flares, but the good pics that I have were always accidental. When I try to take them, I'm not happy with them. Here are a couple...Can't wait to see yours!

Oh how pretty both photo's. I sometimes take photo's not realizing there are sun flares until I edit them, sometimes I leave them in and sometimes I can't use them. Here is one.

Taken very early the other morning.

Hi, Mom - This 1962 morning view, across the German village of Wallgau in Upper Bavaria, shot into the sun but did not have internal lens flares. I know I had a lens shade on the camera and I probably used a medium yellow filter. The camera was a 1958 Automatic Rolleiflex with a coated 75 mm 5-element Zeiss Planar lens. The black & white film was 120 Kodak Tri-X and the negative size was 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches (6 x 6 cm). I was surprised that I had no visible internal lens flare. I guess the morning mist provided just enough of a glare softening effect to prevent flares?
