Backyard Sunrise
The house that we stayed in last week in Phoenix had a beautiful walled-in backyard. I walked around one morning and took some pictures of plants and messed around with how to get consistent sunbursts with my Fuji. My 18-55 kit lens has sunbursts like shown below when around F16. Kinda funky how each burst gets wide towards the end, but it's better than some other lenses that I've used! 

For those of you that are smarter than me, what's the best way to minimize those reddish sunspots that show up in the photo? A better lens hood? Be a more talented photographer? Let me know :)

You just have to put in the time to become a better and more experienced photographer - those lens spots will just magically melt away under the gaze of a grizzled veteran photog.

In the meantime you can wipe the front of your lens any time you're shooting directly into the sun to prevent those blotchy light patches. For the flare itself, some lenses just handle it better than others - often lens reviews will compare the flare and the starburst.

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and clone out the bad spots/flares in Lightroom or Photoshop. Or just never shoot into the sun.

Ah right on, can't wait till I'm more grizzled! 

Ooh yeah, that's a good call. I do love a little dust on my lenses but that could definitely help haha. 

Fair enough, that's also something that I need to get better at, maybe I'll mess around with this image in Photoshop later!

The heal and clone brushes in Photoshop are way better for this kind of stuff than Lightroom's, but fixing spots on the sunburst is always tricky!

Lovely sunburst! Tricky one with flare, as @derekkind pointed out it could well be dust spots, a lens hood may well help - that kind of increased contrast/clarity is what they are designed for, but shooting straight into the sun always has different effects on different lenses. Some handle it really well, others really struggle, and it's not necessarily down to the lens price/quality either. I generally just lean into the flare, I know my wider aperture primes always make it look nice and I've found it's a hell of a lot easier than trying to get rid of it!

Gracias senor! 

Gotcha, that's helpful information to have. And yeah, I guess there's nothing inherently wrong with flare, it would just be nice to be able to control it somewhat! :) It definitely looks really cool in some situations!
