You probably know many of the rules of photography, such as the rule of thirds, don’t shoot into the sun, and so on. But do you know when to break the rules? This video discusses when and why shooting into the sun might actually be useful depending on the effects that you want to achieve. We’ll explain how lens flare can be a visual tool you can use to add realism and a creative editorial feel to your photos. You’ll learn how to maximize the benefits of your digital camera and create unique effects through lens flare.
