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?

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.
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!
My daily walk often takes me behind the local shopping mall and past a drainage pond between the bypass and the mall. Right now it looks rather foreboding, and even in good weather there is usually trash around, but waterfowl do hangout here sometimes, and under the right circumstances, and the right framing, I can get pictures that make this place look almost like a regular wildlife place http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-438321-1.html
