LENS FLARE by sarahd88

It’s all urban legend now that you really don’t have to look at it through your viewfinder and hurt your eyes, since the Fisheye can see it all for you. And you couldn’t be bothered with this photographic myths when you’re snapshooting, right? So go ahead, grab your film camera, press that shutter button and annoy me with your latest Lomotips!

Actually that tip should be "cover the lense with your hand's shadow to avoid lense flare"....
