i had been beating my head trying to find out what could've caused this rainbow light streaks to appear in this shot. i also shot this with my olympus and it didn't have those coloured flares. i was rather annoyed as it seemed to have taken away from the backlit milkweed pods but staring at it and wondering what caused it the light streaks grew on me that's why it made it here.
i was all set to ask everyone what could've caused this when upon returning the camera to the bag, i noticed that attached to the polarizer filter was another filter: an 8-point star filter. problem solved. the filter was promptly removed and stored away.
one of the people from my "smart" circle sent me this link: https://gbdeclaration.org/#read go and have a read; 'tis quite interesting.
Beautiful capture and wonderful light. So glad you solved the mysterious light streaks. Thanks for that very informative link, well worth pondering over.
Interesting effect ! I like the photo and am so glad you figures it out. Thanks for the article too. I have been starting to feel the same way so it is good to know that the intelligentsia support that!
Unintentional, perhaps, and certainly unconventional. But at the same time quite fascinating as an added element. Especially the story, it would have driven me bonkers not knowing as well!
Oh I do agree with that article
Fav!
Interesting reading.
