lens.flare

Did you love the weather today as much as I loved it?! Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. It's also the time of year that Simon and I got married (oct 2nd for those of you wondering). I know this may sound silly, but another thing that I love about Fall is that Starbucks comes out with my favorite fall drink--the pumpkin spice latte. It's my drink of choice during the months of sept and oct!!

Peyton and I decided to take an evening stroll in the cool crisp weather. I took my camera along and was practicing some new techniques on how to achieve some cool lens flare. Lens flare, for those of you who don't know, happens when you angle your lens towards the sun and sunlight enters the lens. The light then makes polygonal shapes in your image depending on the shape of the lens diaphragm. I just used a lot of big words, but you'll see what I mean below. Peyton looks SO artsy:)

See...look at the suns rays here. Isn't that COOL?!

Here you can see lots of lens flare. Notice the sun's rays and the colored transparent circles below Peyton.

Not as much lens flare here, but just a pretty shot of the leaves about to turn for Fall.
