Bride getting ready for the big day

[gsgary]

The flares flare maybe does give a sense of anticipation, of something about to happen? Also, I'd believe a visual pun on the bridal veil if the photo gave us any clue that this was a bride. Still not buying it, but it does feel like there might be the germ of an idea in here.

I'm not defending it she had seen the effect in a bridal mag so i gave her what she wanted very easy to do with digital, film you dont get a second chance, i shot it for free because they are good friends even delayed my holiday i was going away the day of the wedding all turned out good they insisted i take the equivalent of $800

I like lens flare when it's done well. I truly DO love lens flare-type effects. And yeah, I thought about the veiling glare, as this is actually called, (it's not flare, it's veiling glare, two different things) as being a sort of visual play on words of bridal veil,etc. Yeah, maybe there is a germ of an idea in there...but the dull,flat,ugly way the glare is rendered sprayed Lysol antiseptic spray on the germ and killed it.

I'm definitely not bright enough to figure out the whole "veil" thing, but I do like the image.

It's all about creating atmosphere, that's what lens flare does is add drama to documentation.
