Admittedly, I've only taken a few pictures looking into the general
direction of sun, and I haven't quite yet succeeded in getting colorful
polygons, just oranginsh ones. I guess this sudden passion for colorful
reflections has been coming as a result of watching DVDs a few times too
many. It's a demo disk by Miramar that came with the new compyter (I am
still sitting on the old one, and use the new one only for photo/digital
audio; not yet hooked online). Tread/ReTread, about mountain biking (Hi
Doris!) has some spectacular camera work, and some unintentional dust
induced flare. Canyon Carver, about white water rafting, too, has some
"good" flare, unintentional ofcourse.
<Ob. OM content>one photo of my 5yr old sis, silhouetted by sun, has a
nice reflection/flare thingy. Watching the DVD on computer, mum commented
on the picture quality "very sharp, like photos with your Olympus"
Needless to say, that left me grinning :-)
