the growing overuse of lens flares

 
and the bandings rent

elongated along a wide, pale hall





this winter has been aired out 
of reaches


gypsum

a lifetime of voyage 
vaguely dreamt, 


ages upon ages 
cast diminutive


japed, sun 
swept

[Lens flare on stairs of Borobudur temple, Magetang, Indonesiato enhance the sense of ascending

  1. Lens flare is the light that is scattered via internal reflection, scattering caused by material inhomogeneities in the lens, or other image formation mechanisms. It manifests itself as a haze or as visual artifacts (starbursts or rings). It is often caused by a bright lightsource, such as shooting directly into the sun. Although most of the time lens flare is unwanted, it may be deliberately used to invoke a sense of drama. It was one of the first special effects developed for computer graphics.
