Some of the older lenses (without all those multiple layers of fancy chemical coating) produces some nice flares. Brennan, please feel free to share your photos.

I'm working on a Blender node setup for really nice flares, but so far nothing is working too well. Both my 50mm prime lenses (Modern Canon and Vintage Pentax film mount) give really nice flare, so I have lots of reference to go from. If anyone needs, I can post shots for you. This guy: (http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=144215) has some pretty sweet anamorphic stuff going on with a 60 node setup. I think it's a bit too much (read: JJ style) but it's a cool demo nonetheless. What a coincidence of interests: Blender, Canon photography and lens flares.

Filming flare is kinda dangerous, too much light can easily ruin the shot, and it's hard to recover the image when it's just a wash of white. Adding them in post is much 'safer'. But some might claim it's less authentic. I guess some of them must be added in post-processing.

Thats the hard thing today, getting acurate reference, in this cause I thank you, any chance of adding the aperture to those extra photos of yours? Have you seen the thread at Blenderartists, where someone actualy made a 3D flare object? would be a cool lighting layer object to layer to rig into a scene.

We'll probably see some really cool looking flares soon! I think people are working on improving it for the Sintel project. We’ll probably see some really cool looking flares soon!
