About
Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens. A lens flare is often deliberately used to invoke a sense of drama. A lens flare is also useful when added to an artificial or modified image composition because it adds a sense of realism, implying that the image is an un-edited original photograph of a "real life" scene.
This Tumblr was created to showcase & appreciate lens flares in various forms of media, be it television, film, or photography.

It is my opinion that this is the prettiest episode of any television show EVER. Plus: JOSH/DONNA ANGST! Set to the music of Ryan Adams. What is not to love? I believe this to be the best Post-Sorkin episode as well.
I made this earlier today, and there are a few lens flares in there, so I’m reblogging it here.
