Lens flare occurs when stray light enters a camera lens and produces artifacts in the image. It’s often seen as a something to avoid, but it can also be a creative tool when used intentionally (and I am personally obsessed with it!). However, not all lenses produce the same type of lens flare, and understanding the characteristics of each can help you make more informed decisions about which lenses to use for different types of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I’m going to talk about different kinds of lenses and how they deal with flare. Then, I’ll be showing a ton of examples of lens flare organized by the brand of lens used<\/strong>. This will be the collaborative part of this blog post, where I asked bunches of photographers to submit their images<\/strong> using all different brands<\/em><\/strong> and lenses. I hope this helps you decide what lens to use the next time you are shooting backlit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog is part of a collaborative blog series! Check out my other blog where I asked a ton of photographers what their biggest mistakes were last year<\/a>. Come learn from our mistakes!<\/p>\n\n\n

How the quality of your glass will effect the lens flare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I was first starting out in photography, I would use the cheapest lenses because they were\u2026 well, cheap. And I couldn\u2019t afford anything else. Which is completely fine, except for when you shoot backlit like I love to do, the lens flare can take over the photo. Sometimes that looks really cool but when you are trying to get that perfect photo to go over the fireplace of everybody looking at the camera, your client does not want a big old lens flare over their faces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is why spending more money on good glass is such a great idea. Better glass equals less intense lens flare<\/strong> (and usually sharper, higher-quality looking photos). But sometimes I miss my old lenses because they would give me such creative lens flares. So it’s a trade-off for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, on my Canon RF 85mm 1.2 lens, it has such amazing glass that the flare is typically minimal and in the edge. Something I love to do is use a copper pipe to create a ring of fire<\/a>, and I have a very hard time getting a full circle with this lens! It’s so high quality that it resists the flare!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coating on the glass of your lens can also make a difference in your amount of lens flare. Really expensive lenses have higher quality coating that can help to reduce lens flare. Which you may want sometimes, but other times not so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create lens flare on purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with a sunny day and position yourself so the sun will be coming directly into the lens. But the trick to get a beautiful flare<\/strong> is to have the sun partially blocked by something like a tree or mountain, or even your subject. Mess around with the amount of sun you allow to peek out and see what is giving you the best flare. If the sun is blocked too much, you won’t get a flare. I also try and have a darker background over the area where the flare will be so it is easier to see.<\/p>\n\n\n

I personally use Canon cameras, and I have dealt with lots of different lens flares. So let me break that down for you first before I share about other brands later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakdown of my Canon lens journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of my photography journey, I was using the nifty 50, which is the super cheap Canon 50mm 1.8<\/strong>. This lens is seriously a lifesaver when you are just starting photography and can\u2019t afford anything more than this. But you have to be careful because the lens flare can definitely take over the image if you are trying to shoot backlit. But it can produce some super cool rainbows because cheaper glass equals more artifacts. If you use it intentionally, you can create some amazing art with it! Looking at this is making me want to go get another of these just so I can make some rainbow flares!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Some of my old work, taken with the Canon 50mm 1.8 – Settings: F1.8, 1\/640<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Another cheaper lens that I had in the early days of my photography career was the Canon 35mm 2.0<\/strong>. When shooting backlit, it can definitely overtake your photo if you aren’t careful. The photos below are using this lens. I actually really love this one because it goes with the vibe I wanted, but if I were trying to get everyone looking at the camera, I would have a very hard time getting a nice backlit image. This was taken in 2019 when I had sold a lens but was waiting for another so I used this one for the first time in a while and had a goal in mind to do cool things with the lens flare. ????<\/p>\n\n\n

I dealt with a weird green lens flare (you can see it in the photos below) on the Sigma art 35mm 1.4 lens<\/strong> so I quickly sold that lens for something else. Because this green flare (pictured below) just wasn\u2019t the look I was after, even though at can be cool sometimes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"comparing
Photographed with the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art – Second photo: F2.5, 1\/800<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Then I spent more money to get the Canon 35 mm 1.4 L ii <\/strong>(what I currently shoot with) and it still sometimes ends up with a lens flare right in the middle of the photo where people\u2019s faces are. Other than that it\u2019s a super amazing lens but the lens flare sometimes drives me nuts. Below is a backlit photo using this lens and you can see that the lens flare is beautiful when you are doing lifestyle images but you have to be very careful with backlit photos of everyone looking at the camera. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

I also have the RF 85 mm 1.2 lens and the flare is always in the corner and so soft and pretty. Absolutely gorgeous and yes, these RF lenses are a lot more expensive than the lenses I have used in the past, but I feel that they are 100% worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Recently I had the opportunity to try out the Canon RF 50 mm 1.2 lens and it absolutely blew my mind.  <\/span>The lens flare was so lovely and minimal and typically on the edge of the image rather than right over the middle of it. You can see in the images below what the lens flare looks like on this lens. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
