There was no post processing done to this, I shot it in full manual mode and the focus was on the piece of wood on the side. I used my 24-70mm lens for this shot. I can share some more info but I would have to dig up the exif. Canon 5D Mark II | 135mm L | 24-70mm L | 100mm f/2.8 macro | 50mm f/1.8

Nov 08, 2010 14:09 | #4 Thanks, I guess what I am asking is to get a good flare do you generally stop down the lens or shoot more open? fast or slow shutter? I have tried and I have not been really happy with the flare effects I get. Website

I'm sure someone told me that once... It's def. not good and I guess it all depends on your glass. I shouldn't get carried away with it!

Pretty much all opinions are worth something to you this is after all an open invitation for criticism and you don't have take notice of it. flickr
