Elvis Martinez challenges you n°2

74
Everybody say yeah yeah!

The new theme on which I’d like you to propose an album will be cc-in-paris’s suggestion: LIGHT FLARES

I chose this theme among all propositions because we all have photos with light flares, but it’s not that easy to have these bringing something more to the photo. So choose carefully the pictures with NICE light flares :)

Wait wait wait, the theme is not light leaks! I know you smugglers!! ;P

See my example album in the 2nd comment below

pretty easy with the Spinner

As well as on night shots:

For those who haven’t read and participate in the first challenge (http://www.lomography.com/homes/elvismartinezsmith/blog/8624-elvis-martinez-challenges-you), this is just a little game between us all to share our experiences on a given theme.

    Nice theme again ! I have a few nice ones, but my absolute favorite is this one (www.lomography.com/homes/stouf/albums/17895-arctic-holga-le…)
    This team of researcher were measuring light transmission through the ice, using a big square light panel. If you look closely, the flare looks like two sides of a cube: one from the light panel and a second one from its reflexion on the ice...
