Im not really a camera person, so I dont really understand what actually causes lens flare. I guess its when a certain light hits the camera lens at a certain angle. Does it only happen with sunlight? Like the light in the boat in the dragon picture, and the light on the post and middle background building, im just finding as i've been using photoshop, painting effects like that which I've always thought cool when Ive seen them in other pictures, is, well.... cool. Like painting light fog and smoke too. i just find it really cool! Its easy to get carried away! And, thanks. The instructor has liked my concept image, so its all good so far.
