EJ Abrams

J.J. Abrams, director of Star Trek (2009), made lens flares trendy again with his unique artistic vision. Now Star Trek and lens flares go hand-in-hand, which is why I combined them in my last two posts. Of course some may claim that lens flares were a trifle over used in Abrams' Trek, but the tool is just so flashy and easy to use that it's hard to resist adding them to any old photo, whether it's appropriate or not. Lens flare and prosper!
