While some photographers feel all sunflare is a technical flaw and the mark of a bad photo, I welcome the addition of sunflare to almost any photograph. It’s easy to capture on purpose, though some lenses are a lot better at it than others. Point your lens toward the sun at an angle and relish the golden and blue rings and spots of sunlight.
Below you’ll find some of my favorite sunflare images from over a dozen talented Flickr photographers! Be sure to click on the photo to visit the artist and give them some love!
I don’t know about you, but seeing these motivates me to go out and shoot into the sun to capture sunflare!
If you’ve captured any gorgeous sunflare lately, please let me know or add your image (500px max) in the comments!
