Lens flare is either haze or unwanted light artifacts across the image. It happens when a bright light source, such as the sun, shines into your lens, or is present in your image.
GLOSSARY: Lens Flare
Lens flare (often referred to simply as "flare") is caused by a scattering and reflection of light inside the lens.
we went on a jeep tour this weekend in the New Mexico backcountry. I was determined to get this shot with petroglyphs and sun flare together....it's a little redder than I'd like, but the rock is reddish as well....
Flare
Flare or lens flare, is a photographic phenomenon in which a light source enters the lens at a specific angle, and causes a pluming effect with the light. It's caused by aberrations in the manufacture of the lens' glass elements.
Flare
Flare is unwanted streaks of light on your photos caused by lens imperfections and/or pointing the camera at the light source.

Flare
Non-image-forming light scattered by reflections within a lens or enlarger/camera interior which reduces image contrast and detail.
Flare can affect film by causing a lowering of image contrast.
FLARE - Light that doesn't belong in an image, often taking the shape of the aperture, generally caused by shooting towards the light source. The source may appear in the image as a reflection from the interior of the camera or from the lens.
FLARE
This kind of directional light is perfect for enhancing texture and shapes.
Flare. Non--image-forming light that reaches the film, resulting in a loss of contrast or an overall grayness in the final image. Caused by stray light reflecting between the surfaces of the lens.
Flare - A series of bright polygons in the image caused by internal reflections within the camera's lens. Lens flare usually occurs when you shoot directly at a strong light source like the sun or a street lamp.
Flare
An overall decrease in contrast caused by light being reflected off, instead of transmitted through, a lens surface; controllable through the use of multilayer coating of individual lens elements in a lens; ...
flare:
The reflected light from lens elements that appears as a non-uniform haze or as bright spots on the film. This usually happens when a bright light directly enters the lens.

Flare. Scattered light that dilutes the image, lowering contrast and seeming to reduce sharpness. Mostly occurs when the subject is backlit.
Flare
Flare, unlike Flair, is not in one's head but in one's lens or camera. Tip: Keep bright lights, sun, and strong Reflections out of the lens; or turn flare's image-eating tendencies into image-enriching ones by telling your client: ". . .
Flare
A camera lens is a combination of several lenses. Flare is caused by the stray reflections inside the lens of strong light sources like direct sunlight, making the picture duller.
-Flare - non-image forming light scattered by the lens or reflected from the camera interior.
Lens Flares - Irregularities in an image that are a result of reflections inside the lens.
Lens flare
The DP1's lens is quite prone to flare. This is probably caused (or at least contributed to) by the protruding front element of the lens.
lens flare
If light shines directly on a lens it will normally produce a series of bright circular shapes accross the image and degrade the contrast. This is referred to as lens flare and can be reduced or eliminated by using a lens hood or shade.
Flare:
The point during the landing approach in which the pilot gives an increased amount of up elevator to smooth the touchdown of the airplane. Ground effect may result in the aircraft remaining airborne for longer than expected.
Flare:
Cause: It is light reflecting off the inner and outer surface of a lens. Solution: Use a lens hood. Remove UV Or Sky light filters.

Flare - Data Visualization for the Web
Flare is an ActionScript library for creating visualizations that run in the Adobe Flash Player.
Flare can be a problem as soon as a strong light source can send light rays through the lens. This is most obvious if the light source is visible in the scene but the lens can also transmit light which originates outside the image field.
Flare
A streak or flaw on a photograph resulting from an undesirable light source or reflection.
If flare is a problem, position the sun immediately behind the subject.
Also consider your subject. Simple subjects make better silhouettes. Uncluttered backgrounds will also create a more effective silhouette.
The flare of LW46 is well controlled, even without lenshood ( I don't think there is a lens hood for LW46)
Unlike LW55, there is no trace of ghost image streak, picture like this is not possible with LW55 ...
Lens flare happens when non-image-forming light enters a lens and falls on thefilm or sensor. If the light is well diffused it lowers the contrast of the image.

Solar Flare Sudden and short-lived brightening of a region of the solar chromosphere. Solar Mass, Luminosity The Sun is a fairly average star, and its mass and luminosity serve as good standards for comparison with other objects.
A layer or multiple layers of thin anti-reflective materials applied to the surface of lens elements to reduce light reflection (flare) and increase the amount of transmitted light.

A white, or even light-colored copyboard, reflects too much light into the camera lens, causing flare and troublesome reflections. Flare causes a loss in contrast and extra compression of the shadows. A black copyboard minimizes flare.
lens coating - A microscopic antireflection coating applied to lenses that reduces flare and increases contrast. All modern camera lenses are coated.
lens hood - a shade fitted around the lens to exclude stray light.

A "B" or a "9" might mean superb resolution, but some flare and vignetting, or it could mean low flare, high contrast but only good resolution. Thus 2 lenses getting the same "grade" could, in fact, perform differently.
When the light is pointed toward the camera, one flap can be adjusted to prevent light from entering the camera lens and causing lens flare.
Use a lens hood to prevent extraneous light from hitting the lens and causing lens flare.
Don't use supermarket film.
Filters need to be coated to reduce flare, and this reduces (slightly) the amount of light that passes through the lens.Filters are (normally) fitted at the very front of a lens and because of this they ‘attract' flare.
can allow you to completely change how light hits the camera, for example, there are a number of add-on filters that can either soften the photo, provide slight blurring around the edges to capture a sensitive mood in portraits, add light flares for ...
Numerous people have over the years reported sounds being heard while bright meteors flared overhead. This would seem impossible, given the relatively slow speed of sound.
Flare, for one, reduces contrast and color saturation. 'To keep the backlights out of the camera's lens, I narrowed the flashes' output with snoots that I made from black aluminum foil,' Seiler explains.
If the sun is in your photograph or just outside the frame you've selected, there's a danger of flare. For this reason, it makes sense to use a lens hood or lens shade to prevent unwanted flare in your photograph.
While this is indeed an excellent lens, it is highly susceptible to flare whenever the sun is in front of the lens. Given the kind of shooting I do, I would love to see a nano-crystal wonder to replace the 70-200.
For optical systems, such as microscopes and various measuring devices, how to reduce stray light and flare that have negative impacts on observation and measurement is important.
Second, when you are shooting with the flower backlit, watch out for flare. You don't want the incoming light to shine directly into your lens producing ghostlike blobs.
Bright sun can cause reflection and lens flare, if you tilt the lens toward the sun, and these can be used to artistically enhance your photography. Overhead sun causes shadow and is usually unflattering for portraits.
It was lightly drizzling when I took this, and the flare you see above the car comes from water drops on the lens. Even though I try to wipe the lens every few seconds, if the rain is coming too fast sometimes you get this kind of flare.
In order to reduce the flare that might be induced by additional glass surfaces on top of a lens, and also to suppress light reflected out, "bounced" away on a filter surface, it is important to insist on multi-coated filters, ...
Yet, when I outfit my models in contemporary gear of "any color, so long as it’s black," I get kind of nostalgic for that old Saturday Night Fever flare. Actually, I see the logic for wetsuits in black.
This distortion enhances the effect of the flared jeans and the big shoes, whereas in the second shot the distortion of the shooting angle is working against the effect of the big shoes and flares balancing the picture.
This is excellent in many respects but one thing you need to watch out for when you use it is flare, which can appear in the photo if you shoot towards a bright light source such as the sun (a problem that rarely arises in British waters).
A collar or hood at the front of a lens that keeps unwanted light from striking the lens and causing image flare. May be attached or detachable, and should be sized to the particular lens to avoid vignetting.
Flare The soft effect visible in a picture resulting from stray light passing through the lens that is not focused to form the primary image. Flare can be controlled by using optical coating, light baffles, low reflection surfaces or a lens hood.
The same is true for most coloured light, such as the different-coloured flares used in fireworks, neon signs, Christmas lights, and so on.
Lens hoods help prevent unwanted light flares in photos. These collapsible lens hoods fold down to save space in your dad's camera bag. Lens hoods are measured like filters.
