You probably thought I was going to talk about beer. Nope. Sun flares.
I watched these two jets streaming towards each other. The sky was clear blue and I thought the contrast with the white would make for an interesting shot.
Once the files were uploaded to LightRoom, the unseen sun rays and flares became part of the art. A very unplanned but welcomed surprise.
The color was not how I remembered it - as clear sharp blue. Instead a sea blue-green hue appeared, most likely from the rays and flares acting like a prism. I'm not entirely sure but this sounds reasonable to me.
The one giant flare provided a hoop for the jets to move through.
Do these photos look like underwater shots to you?
