Sun flare shots

do you have the set up shot for this or can you tell me how you set it up and camera settings, this is exactly what I am looking to do for my daughter. Thanks. Great pic btw.

Thanks! The camera settings were manual, f/8, 1/125 shutter speed, 400 ISO.

I did not have any external flash gear because we were just walking around, so I just mounted a 430ex II to my camera set in ETTL and zoomed to 35mm I believe. It was my first sun flare attempt and I think it turned out alright. Good luck!

The person and the bench appear to be pasted on to that background. I don't think that they were because the shadows are consistent, but the bottom of the bench is sharp while the ground is blurred.

It's because I was experimenting with some tilt-shift like techniques. Just trying some new stuff

Me and my girl.

Love the flare! Could you share your EXIF?

Whilst walking through a rainforest track with a couple of my friends, I took this surprise photo for fun, my first actual pic with a sunflare in it at all!
