I love how you’ve turned what might frustrate other photographers into something magical. The starburst isn’t just accepted, it’s invited. It speaks to your eye, your intention, and the way you use everything nature offers to make your images glow.

Thank you for the kind words! It's all part of learning to see, I suppose!

Some chase it their entire lives and never really learn to see. Your vision is art.

Interesting. I’m booked for a half day trip to Sedona and Antelope Canyon. Your NV capture aptly demonstrates that the starburst effect would be useful for desert photography. Thanks.

Beautiful!!

Any suggestions when shooting with an iPhone. I get lucky with the result occasionally and it’s just luck. I’m having fun trying. I usually end up with a little green dot/flare type thing. I try to work that towards the bottom of the frame and then I can crop it out. 🤣 High tech, I know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Honestly I don't think there's a proven method with an iPhone. You could try using the super-wide (0.5x) lens, but the flat lens face and lack of any aperture adjustments in the camera make it nearly impossible.

Good Morning Jason, Thanks! I was pretty sure that was the case. No complaints here though. I get lucky with a Happy accident from time to time.
