“Fixing” Lens Flare During Post-Production There are a number of techniques you can use to add flare when the existing light is less than ideal. By strategically placing and using flashes, for example, you can recreate sun flares and enhance them in post. The flare should only enhance an already strong image.Ī Note On Handling And/Or Adding Lens Flare In-Camera When including or adding flare into an image, it’s important that you not overlook the basic elements that make a great image in the first place, including strong composition, posing, and expressions. I've got some Moment lenses and other filters that I'll be using with the 12, I'll experiment and see if any of them reduce or change the reflections if I do experience them with the new phone and report back.Here are three basic characteristics of a lens flare: While reflections etc may be normal, seems like the current iPhones might have a particular weakness. The dot issue is pronounced enough in the iPhone compared with other cameras and phones to be mentioned by professional reviewers when reviewing the video capability ( The Verge from memory) wishing that Apple had dealt with it. Again, 3 years on 6s Plus without a single dot/reflection issue in still or video. Fingers crossed that the dot issue isn't so pronounced that video is compromised regularly. I'm getting a 12 Max Pro as I'm pretty keen to start playing with the new cameras and software. Important to note too that 'lens flares' are very different than the roaming dots and reflections that are being reported. Also used Fuji X100s and a few others and not dealt with those artifacts that look like dots or the clear ghosted parts of images that we see here. I've been shooting on my 6s Plus for 3 years, not a single dot or strange reflection issue encountered, ever. This suggests that perhaps (let's call it) an eccentricity of the lens is being amplified in the newer phones. 12 has some changes, but 11 changes were in software. To be honest it's a bit weird that you're responding to each poster with a defensive reaction, it all seems a bit personal which is just unnecessary.įact check, main lens on iPhone has been hardly changed for generations, including the sensor, so claims of changed resolution and lens complexity are a bit misleading.
