Flare is seen as unwanted rays of light, or sometimes halos and circular white outlines that are created by the diffraction of light coming from a light source. When light passes sharp edges or goes through narrow slits, the rays are deflected and produce fringes of light and dark bands. Flare can compromise the overall contrast of your photos, and can also ruin them if the size of these halos are large, or their positioning is wrong.
That said, flare can sometimes create appealing, artistic results and add flair to your photography if positioned and manipulated the right way and used to your creative advantage. Flare can add a very warm and indulging feeling to many landscapes, cityscapes, and outdoor portraiture.
Below are some excellent examples that show the correct and creative use of flare in photography. Remember, if you have some of your own, be sure to leave links in the comments below so we can check them out as well!
