Starburst

Starburst
SSC: This week let's create our own "Starburst" image.

As I only returned home last night, just a quick and dirty handheld photo of my chandelier. I used f/22 to get the starburst and converted the photo to mono using Slver Efex.

The number of rays on the stars depends of the number of aperture blades in the lens. The 24-70 has an odd number (9 blades) which creates 18 rays whereas the 24-105 lens I used in the inset archive photo has an even number (8 blades) and so the starburst shows only 8 rays.

Tanja - Loughcrew, Roger Bennion, , and 29 other people have particularly liked this photo

Whoa... those are two wonderful types of starbursts and I appreciate your explanation of how the blades affect the outcome. These little starbursts can become addictive, I think. :)

Gudrun club has replied to Karen's Place club
Thanks very much, Karen! Actually, I have never been that happy with the 8-ray-starburst, I thought it looked a bit measly;-) I'm glad the new lens is better that way.

Karen's Place club has replied to Gudrun club
That's good. A new lens is always so much fun. :)

Klasse die s/w- Version. Auch das Nordland-PiP hat einen schönen Sonnenstern.

Gudrun club has replied to Heidiho club
Besten Dank, Heidi! Ich bin jetzt aber doch froh, das 24-70 mit der ungeraden Lamellenzahl zu haben, den Stern mit den 8 Strahlen mochte ich nie so gern....
