Diggem, With a flare filter, I would've not gotten the effect that I wanted. I don't know where to get filters for my camera. My camera does not have a threaded lens. So I am going the cheap way. Without my sunglasses, the shot would've just been an ordinary late afternoon blah shot. The camera I use is a Fujifilm S2000HD, I have to look in my owners manual, seems that I saw somewhere that my camera has some filters built in. I am a unconventional person, and am not a pro, so therefore I experiment alot, I took 14 pics of this same shot, and only one qualified with me. Heck, if I told everyone what I was using, everybody would classify me as a loonie bin escapee .......NGE I am not taking this as bad criticism, I enjoy all comments, I cannot remember what my settings were, but who cares....film is cheap........Larry
