I saw a sun flare tutorial today on Pioneer Woman. I took Charlotte out tonight to try it a little bit. Basically, you set your camera on aperature priority, and then close your aperature down as high as it can go, like f/22. Then, you can capture some sun flare.
I wish I had a beautiful wheat field close by to do photo shoots, but instead my front yard has to do. It is a fun technique that I'm excited to use more. These are by no means very good, the composition in the second one is terrible - but I love her hands. She does this all the time now when she doesn't know something. If you ask her a question and she doesn't know, she throws up her hands - "I don't know, Mommy." - very innocent. However, whenever she strikes this pose, I have flashes into the future, 16 years down the road, when there is something she's denying oh so innocently.

All I can see in the second one is my baby Carrie. Really brought back memories. I love them!
Crazy -- I read the same tutorial today too and tried it out this evening and am just getting ready to import photos and have a look at them. You should see the same post on my blog in a bit :) You did a great job! I know -- if you find a beautiful wheat field nearby, lemme know. I found a vacant lot in Tucker that is filled with yellow dandelions across from where my daughter takes ballet and took some pictures of her the other day and they turned out pretty cute.
Carrie you are so talented and I love your model!!
Cute! And the first rule of composition...the ones that break the rules are always your favorites. It's both a relief and MADDENING sometimes.
