Keep beating this dead horse all you want. I learned in...
You've nailed it here. These examples would be bad photographs without the lens flare. People need to quit complaining about non-problems and learn how to use their tools properly. Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that holding his hand to shade the lens prevented the flare. That is also...
