[QUOTE="hark, post: 688859, member: 13196"] This was taken yesterday afternoon--he is a 92-year old WWII Veteran (Marines). What an amazing gentleman. I asked permission to photograph him from behind and let him know he'd appear as a silhouette against the water. I wanted to enhance the sun's rays a little. [B]This is a screen shot of the NEF (before any editing).[/B] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]302833._xfImport[/ATTACH] Phlearn's directions for the scatter brush were easy enough to follow and allowed me to add some subtle rays to what was already there. I only added one layer for the rays--not the two that he shows in the video. I also added some saturation to the existing lens flare to make it more noticeable. Following the video is the edit. Since I stopped down trying to create the light rays in camera, this is probably something I will add to future images that contain some subtle sun rays (providing the effect will look natural). If the aperture isn't stopped down, I don't think this effect would look as realistic. [MEDIA=youtube]CG-3_bvX2DY[/MEDIA] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]302832._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
