Highlights

As I was heading home, my eye was drawn to my car's logo and the light reflecting off of it. I imagined a final shot like this one with the light bursts.

As you look at this image, you might think that Photoshopped the light bursts, but I did not. The image is straight from the camera with minor tweaks in brightness and shadows in DPP. In order to get this effect, you need to shoot with a small aperture and I find the smaller the better.

A year ago: A busy fellow - One of my favority macro shots.
