Anyone up for a shot?

Nothing is photoshopped. That was in camera.

I have another one without the star filter, but it's just so similar to the first one that I decided to post the star effect one instead. I might put it up later.

Well maybe it is tequila........ but it's making me want champagne.

The amateur in me is speaking now; there is a filter that gives you "more" lens flare? Just curious what is this filter and who makes it? I thought that it was just an unavoidable effect, that most lenses made, try and avoid. Didn't know you could buy one, that added flare.

Oh come on keep photoshop out! I liked the first one much better, I think you just needed to fix that focus thing, not add a flare

The flare is from a 6pt star filter.

It's a star filter, just about any filter manufacturer makes them, probably. It doesn't add "lens flare" as you know it, but it does essentially turn any point of light into a "star" shape. There's different lenses that will have a different number of points that shoot out from that light source (4, 6, 8).
