January 2024 Education Night – Creative Lens Flare – Presented by Jim Sykes

POSTPONED UNTIL FEBRUARY 8, 2024

We are starting off our 2024 Education Nights with a presentation from our own Jim Sykes. On January 25, 2024, join us for a presentation on Creative Lens Flare!

This is an Exhibit Night Assignment for April so make sure you attend so you are up to speed on how to create these artist additions to your images.

Summary of Presentation

Lens flare is a type of optical aberration that occurs when light is scattered by the lens elements of a camera onto film or an imaging sensor. Although it can sometimes be a nuisance, it can also be used artistically as a powerful tool to create interesting photographic effects. Lens flare can be used to add a sense of mystery, to obscure part of a subject, or to create a sense of depth in a photo.

During our January Education Night, I will show you techniques to create various types of lens flare in an image and how those different types of lens flare can be used to add a surreal glow to a scene, to create patterns, starbursts, and other effects.
