The ring in #4. how did you get that?

shoot2live: i only realised it when i got home and view the photos thru my pc. so sorry, i can't explain to u on how i got it. maybe it's my front lens that was scratched! lol

talking on this topic. i have a personal fav. photographer and she is Jenny Sun. i admire her photos that it was mostly to do with flare but i never manage to get hold of it even till today.

Wow! Flare.. i only heard flare with a lousy UV filter before. Don't know if it is really the case..

Oh anyway, nice photos.

CameraManCares: u should check out Jenny's photos. mostly are taken with the use of flare created from natural light. one way she did shared with us during a conference on how she did it was partly using lens with the widest aperture, such as those with f1.4 or f1.2

You knew her?

not personally... she was a speaker for our media conference held in KL last march this year.

i see..

Must be very cool right? to know a photographer who you like.

like i said, i know her by name and see her face2face... but dun think she knows me.

Never mind about that, strive to be shoot as good as her!

here i also dun know how to get flare... but blur images i know

The flare are normally caused by the direction of the light from the source like the sun. And another reason for the flare is the filter. Hope this helps.

Try to look for the flare by looking into your viewfinder to the source of a strong light. you might get it.

Try not attaching your hood while shooting. Maybe you can get flare!

FotoTods: hmm... true also cos i always shoot with my hood on.

is it true that u can't always shoot flare cos it might spoil ur sensor?

No such thing unless you are talking about the sun directly shining on your sensor with your shutter door opened.

ohh.. long exposure la
