- Adrien is really good at writing short bios. I mean, just look at how this one is going; pretty good so far. It's actually awesome and we haven't even talked about his photography yet. And at this point, why should we, let's just quit while we're ahead.
I saw this in the Toronto star! GOod job, Great picture! :)

Great picture.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine asked about the two light "things" on the middle just above the lightning. Do you know what they are?
Gilles,
ReplyDeleteIt's flare. Something that happens when there's a bright source of light in the picture (usually the sun; but here it's the street light, that appear brighter because of the long exposure).
Flare occurs symmetrically on the opposite side of an axis that would run through the centre of the lens. It's simply light bouncing inside the lens.
If you have time to frame your picture correctly (which I didn't have during the thunderstorm), you can easily avoid flaring buy only using one half of your sensor.
That's what I did in the second picture from this post: http://veczan.blogspot.com/2009/06/poll-book-cover.html
Had that been shot with the full frame available to me, the setting sun would have created massive flares right in the middle of the photo. Instead, this was a vertical shot, and all the flare happened in the sky, which was later cropped out. Less pixels in the final image, but better, cleaner photo because there's no flare.
Hope that helps.
Adrien
Adrien, Thanks for the quick explanation.
ReplyDeleteI will pass it to the person who asked me.
