What is this effect called? Where there are lines of light rays emanating from the center ? How do i get that effect? Does it need some kind of special lens or filter to get ? Or does it require post processing to achieve that effect ?

I'd be suspicious that the third example hasn't been added in post... – Philip Kendall Jul 12 '21 at 20:04

@PhilipKendall the sun position is consistent with the shadows and the faces have no direct sun, so I'd say it's genuine. – Mark Ransom Jul 13 '21 at 02:43

@MarkRansom oh absolutely, the sun itself isn't added in post, but the flares are just a bit too perfect. I could be wrong, and it doesn't really matter. – Philip Kendall Jul 13 '21 at 06:50

That other linked question was indeed very helpful. Should i delete this question now ? What is the policy/etiquette in this situation ? – silverrahul Jul 13 '21 at 07:20

1Don't worry about deleting the question. As long as it doesn't have any votes I think the "roomba" bot will clean it up. A mod or consensus of power users could delete it too if it looked like it was bad for the site, but I don't think it is. – Mark Ransom Jul 13 '21 at 15:16
