Aperture flare
Aperture flare. Close-up of the bladed aperture of a camera lens, demonstrating the phenomenon of aperture flare. The blades of the aperture ring open and close to control the amount of refracted light that passes through the lens into the camera. However, sometimes light is scattered through the layers of glass and flares onto the light receiver, as seen here

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the mesmerizing phenomenon of aperture flare. In a close-up shot, we are presented with the intricate bladed aperture of a camera lens, which controls the amount of refracted light that enters the camera. However, in certain instances, scattered light can pass through multiple layers of glass and create beautiful flares that dance upon the light receiver. The image is a testament to both technological innovation and artistic expression within photography. It highlights how even within the realm of science and technology, there exists an inherent beauty waiting to be captured. The carefully manipulated composition allows us to appreciate every detail of this optical phenomenon. Through this montage-like composite photograph, Science Photo Library invites us into a world where physics meets artistry. The digitally manipulated image not only educates viewers about aperture flare but also sparks curiosity about the wonders hidden within our everyday devices. As we gaze at this stunning piece without any mention of commercial use or branding distractions, we are reminded that sometimes it is in these small details – like blades opening and closing – where true magic lies.
