Operation Sunflair

shooting into the sun,
sunflair
I admit it. I am having a love affair with back light and sun flair. It's so romantic and gives a feel to a picture that nothing else can. I LOVE it.
Tonight my boys and I went to the park and I decided to experiment with shooting into the sun wide open. (at f/1.4 on my 50mm lens).
(And let's face it.. after reading Parker this book and hearing him trying to convince Luke that he should be a dog all afternoon, we needed a break!)
Two things that I learned:
#1. It's dang hard
#2. I still stink at self portraits
(note to self: give boys a haircut!!)
I'd love to see your sunflair and back lit experiments. E-mail me or comment if you have some to share!

I love it, too! I just posted one from an engagement session (it's SOOC, don't judge). But I'll be posting more later this week :)

These look great! Sun flare is something I've been trying to master for a while now, and thanks to this little reminder I'll have another go :)
And I think you've got mad skills to capture that self portrait with a 50mm lens. I usually just end up with one eyeball and the top of my head. Well done.
Hey--just wanted to let you know that I happened to choose the same Blu template as you for my website, but dind't realize it was the same one until after I chose it. Hope it doesn't bother you. :)
