Practicing my sunstar technique at a scenery location in Bulgaria

Greetings, photo fans!

Let me share with you today a few photographs I made at the sunken church in the Zhrebchevo dam in central Bulgaria, thankfully not sunken at all at the time of this visit.

You may have noticed that I love this technique, based on the light diffraction.

The trick of making a good diffraction is to find the perfect spot and use small aperture values, let say f/13 to f/22 would do it for the most of the lenses. Of course, all the camera settings are important, I don't want to have motion blur or under/over-exposure.

Also interesting point is that even my breathing could impact the outcome. If their is wind, that too. Even in burst mode (that I didn't use here), all the pictures will be a bit different.

Here are the photos from this "photo-shoot".

That first one wasn't staged, I just got happy to have that young family stepping out of the church. That should count for Street Photography, I suppose? :)
