SkyWatch Friday; Lens Flare


Instead trying to avoid lens flare, I decided to embrace it for this capture

After nearly two weeks of clouds and rain the sun is a very welcome change. Here in South Central Pennsylvania we have experienced the coolest, wettest May on record since the 1950’s.

  20. This is a beautiful and very expressive image, Salty. What you've done so well is something I try to teach students: think outside of the box with your photography.
