Dear reader, if this entry or my other blog entries don't answer your specific photography questions, you can call me on the phone anytime for advice by clicking here.This technique works very well with flowers in the late afternoon or early morning, when the sun is low in the sky. Set your lens aperture (f-stop) to the lowest number possible, which will give your image a shallow depth of field. Compose your photo so that the flowers or buds that are closest to your lens are the center of focus. Now shift your position so that the sun is just barely shining directly into the lens. Do not stare at the sun for too long, as it can do damage to your eyes.
After your photo is taken, you should see a beautiful "wash" of warm light throughout your image, as well as lens flare. In this instance, lens flare is an asset!
