Lens Flare in Phuket :)
I just love the sun that's filtered through the palm trees on a sunny day in Phuket. This is dedicated to TL members above the tropic of cancer this winter season :)

Very simple work flow in Photoshop:
Filter > Render > Lens Flare > 50-300mm zoom (77%)

Composition:
Model: Canon PowerShot A640
Exposure Time: 1/1244
F-Stop: f/6.3
Focal Length: 7300/1000 mm
Metering Mode: Pattern

Pp work:
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3
1. duplicate Layer
2. tweak colors and saturation
3. add lens flare, erase some strong circles
4. add border and text
5. flatten Layers
6. resize and sharpen
7. resize for TL
