25 Excellent Sun Flare Photography Examples
- By: Guest Author
When you take a photograph and direct sunlight contacts the many pieces of glass in your lens, it usually creates reflections and flares in your photographs. This is called sun flare and using equipment like the lens hood can take care of this ‘problem’. Then again, sometimes that flare makes your picture look even better. Here are 25 great examples of photography using sun flare. Just don’t go around staring at the sun all day with your camera if this inspires you to do so.

Awesome photos! I won’t delete my sun flare photos anymore!!
These photographs are really mazing and the one named “A Home Above Home by Spencer Finnley” was the one that caught my attention.
WOW! Stunning photographs! Love love loooooooove “Here Comes The Sun by MrUllmi”!
I liked the Droplets In The Sky, Oh My one in particular, very nice!
Really awesome stuff. A lot of people go to great lengths to reduce or eliminate flare but in certain situations it can really look good.
Sun is always a joy it is a super photo. People want there to Spain in my house, such sunsets)))
Very good pictures but he use photoshop 🙂
It’s amazing the cool effects you can achieve if you get the right angle on the sun. You don’t need ps to achieve what some of these pictures show.
i would love this pictures much more if all of they would be up to 1024 resolution…
but really beautiful i’ll get ’em 😉
If you click on the link to each photo, some of the photographers do offer the 1024 size. If they do, you’ll see an ‘all sizes’ link above the photo.

do you need to use filter to achieve the starlight flare effect? my sun flare goes in all directions, it just doesnt look as nice.
Great examples. Would be extra helpful if you could share how to best capture such lovely flares. Cheers.
Amazing photos. Especially Sunset for a 7 year old. Really good picture. I try that one.
