Simple Photography Tips: How to Avoid Lens Flare in Landscape Photography

Three simple photography tips how to avoid lens flare

• Change Your Position - A small shift left or right can block direct sunlight and instantly reduce lens flare, giving you more contrast and clarity.

• Use What’s Already There - Trees, rocks, posts or even the landscape itself can act as natural shields to stop stray light washing out your image.

• Watch the Light - If the light is hitting your lens directly, adjust your viewpoint until the scene reveals its best version.

One quick idea to help you reduce lens flare and keep your landscape images clean, clear and full of detail.
