Sure, I didn’t have a lens hood with me, but I doubt that would have solved it . So, had I not been trying to dodge the errant foul ball, I might have tried this slick technique from a fellow photographer. Jump on over to his site to see a neat solution to lens flare.

I often shoot a frame with my hand or had blocking the direct sun - creates a lovely OOF photo of my hand! Then I do a second frame w/o the blockage and then merge in post. This trick has made it possible for me to get a bunch of images that would otherwise have been completely impossible. Dan I’ve been using this trick for several years as well.

Big problems often have simple solutions, but not until they are found. If I saw you doing this, I would have thought of Arno Rafael Minkkinen who makes great landscape-self portraits.

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:39:11 +0000 http://www.my-photo-blog.com/?p=3984#comment-145431 LOL Ron, I was in Yosemite at sunrise this morning thinking "why the #@!* don't my pics with the sun look as good as other people's"... and now I know. I actually use the same trick when the sun is nearly in the photo and putting glare on the lens, just didn't think of photo merging them with it in the shot. Sometimes a piece of paper or other flat object (e.g. soft filter case work) when out of the frame, since they provide a bit more extension.
