In your article you mentioned "romantic lens flare". Do you have any tips on achieving lens flare and the best ways of utilizing it? I'd love to try it out and add to the little technique I know. Thanks! Looking forward to any tips you may have... I totally agree that the golden hour is the best time to take pictures. In your article you mentioned “romantic lens flare”.

For the most part I feel it was the light that really helped my lack of experience in composition, etc. See for yourself: http://atiyeh.zenfolio.com/p915312388/e14f559e2 It truly does redefine how pictures are made.
