A moment

I have tried so many times to get a good sun flare.

I had a moment yesterday when I thought I finally nailed it, until I looked at it on my computer screen.

Can I just say it?


Stupid cheap five-blade lens sun flare artifact! Just look at the pentagon that ruined the photo! A pentagon! Don't say you can't see it.

Yeah, I could clone it out.

No, I'm not going to. It's just laundry.

Yes, I know this is the worst photo I have ever used for You Capture. There are better ones I took of the clothesline. Then again, the flare is a darn good flare.

There you have it, a moment (yet again) when I swear I'm gonna get myself a better lens. And someday, someday soon, a moment will arrive that I actually do.

I hope this is not the moment you say to yourself, "Wow. I'm never visiting her You Capture again. That girl needs help."

There may yet be a moment I realize that I really shouldn't participate in You Capture when I'm grumpy (or at 2am).

I love this post so much. You should always blog grumpy.

And really? I don't mind the pentagon. It's a great sun flare and I love the depth with the two lines of clothes hanging, too.

The flare is wonderful and distracting enough that you don't immediately notice the pentagon. Love your post!

I didn't notice the pentagon until you mentioned it. Hee! I'm so observant. I think this is a great photo. It would look cute hanging in a laundry room.

Great flare! I didn't notice the pentagon until you mentioned it. It's a really cool set-up.

I'm on the hunt for a better lense as well that doesn't break the bank ;) let me know if this illusive lense exists!
