...and I would have deliberately positioned myself to capture the flare the way you did - nicely done.

This is more of a verging-on-flare shot, as the highlights in the bokeh are rather flary

Pentax FA f1.4 50mm
Pentax PZ-10 film body, program mode
Fujicolor 200
Devl & scans by Dwaynes Photo in Kansas
Cropping, BW conversion, and some other tweaking of file in Shotwell

Color version is cross-posted

PS: That's cottonwood tree seed fluff stuck to the side of the iris blossom. The big cottonwood was just starting seed dispersal around the time I shot this. It's been "snowing" cottonwood seeds for a couple of weeks now.

Flare, flare, Where? Where?

Is there one in here? Maybe in there?

With pictures from the Fair?

What I bear! Lens coatings make them so rare. I sit in this chair , filled with despair. Why should I care?

Because someone made a dare? FOUND ONE!

It was a spare.

Look again - maybe there's a pair.

Adios, Muchachos.
