In the Glare of Flare

One thing that I've noticed my new camera doesn't do, is deal with the sun very well. Or rather, it does, but not in a fun way. It just puts a thick, bright line or arc straight through the shot.

My wonky old Motorola mobile phone camera, however, is far and rather groovier.  The faintest glimpse of a low sun, especially in this example taken on Beacon Hill Reserve, and a psychedelic wormhole to another universe opens up, there on the screen before you.


What I'm actually doing is preparing for my marathon run tomorrow; by preparation I mean emptying my mind and doing nothing at all that might harm my body. Like moving.

We will see how I go.

  1. Groovy! I expect people pay good money for lenses that do wacky effects like that. I like it! The very best of luck tomorrow. You've put in the hard graft - I'm sure you'll reap the rewards. Enjoy!
