Lens Flare

Image from toothpastefordinner.com

 Most of the time a lens flare doesn’t add any storytelling aspect to a photo, but who cares?

Does storytelling matter if a picture looks fucking sweet? I say hell no! If it makes the picture look fan-freakin-tastic, then why not always shoot into the sun or a light bulb or a strobe?  Why are serious journalists always hating on it?  Throw away your dumbass looking lens hood and embrace the flare. Just let it happen.
