Hi friends,
This picture was taken this year; I know that lately I have been showing you oldies but goodies, but it was my wish to make those old photos live again. So they re-surface and they still bring me joy.
I hope you would like this photo too.
Huge thanks for your lovely feedback.
Best regards.

An other breathtaking image Yohanna_D , do you add renders when editing on Photoshop ?

What lens are you using to achieve flare effect ? Something f1.2 ?

Nope, it's a 100mm Canon (fixed lens) that opens at f/2.8 minimum. that's all

I own 100mm L f2.8 too, but never tried to achieve such of results, is there some specific needs or surroundings ?

Well it was taken at the end of the day at 10:11 pm to be more precise so the dew is there a bit, and some blades of grass are more shiny and so you can use them as source of flares; as for the main flare that is more prominent in the foreground, that's another story that I can share in a private message

I need to try that. Usually if I need to add flare effects , I do them through Photoshop, so basically clean renders on image. This can be a good tutorial if you want to create one

I see; but I hardly ever change the background or the elements present in the original photo; what I do is more tweeking with luminosity, vibrance and contrast, curves or balance of colors; that's all. again nothing too dramatic in fact

I know what you saying, but also depending on what you are trying to achieve within post processing, or if you missed something from composition and you want that on your frame.
