			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Usually Photographers mount something called a <em>lens hood</em> in front of their camera lens when shooting outdoor on a sunny day. In Germany people call these thing <em>Streulichtblende</em>. It sounds much nicer than lens hood, so i will use the German word instead <img src='http://michaelkowalczyk.eu/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  In short, this photographic accessoire prevents that light enters the lens from the side, causing different (mostly unwanted) &#8220;side&#8221;-effects on the final image. The graphic below illustrates the <em>Streulicht </em>behaviour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Lens_flare_scheme_en.svg/400px-Lens_flare_scheme_en.svg.png" alt="lens flare graphic" width="400" height="249" /></p>
<p>Most Photographers are aware of this and try to avoid <em>Streulicht </em>as best as they can.</p>
<p>I found that Streulicht can be something artistically valuable, and should not be banned from the photograpic exposure at all costs. I urge myslef to experiment and start utilizing it in a controlled and creative way, to get photographs with an extra layer of  unique colors and a overall lower contrast vintage look, without any use of expensive software plugins, just <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXqXcbeEwvo" target="_blank">by the Power of Ra</a>! <img src='http://michaelkowalczyk.eu/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here two out-of-cam examples of how it might look like, depending not only on entrance angle of the light &#8230;</p>
