lens flare

sunday, winter sun - monica lacey 2013

Well, for today's shot I thought I'd get outside and shoot, and I did get a few shots in before my fingers went numb.  As it happened, the image I liked best from the afternoon was taken from inside my van while I was trying to thaw my hands.  Lens flare is another one of those mistakes-turned-cool-technique things in photography.  It's really interesting how previously unwanted artifacts, which would once have been a sign of poor technique, are now things that we intentionally place in our photos, using apps for this exact purpose.  How times change.  Anyhow, see Juliana's shot for today here.  Tomorrow's theme is Shapes.
