Lens Flare

August 17th, 2009

I know lens flare is cheesy, but I couldn’t resist. In Photoshop look under Filter -> Render -> Lens Flare -> awesomeness.

Note the vignetting in this picture is not a lens artifact or photoshop magic, rather it is caused by the flash, a one point light source coming from the top right. Since there is no ambient light and the shutter speed was relatively fast there’s a sharp drop off of light toward the edges.

  1. Yes, I know you voted against the quotes and I have to agree, it looks too much like a motivational poster. But this one was already in the pipeline. The pieces in this series after this won’t have any I promise. Check back tomorrow.
