Daily Photo – Bishop Flare

I titled this image ‘Bishop Flare' because it obviously shows flare and it was taken near the town of Bishop in California. Taken relatively early on a in 1995, I had originally set out to compose something around the center pivot irrigation system but whatever I tried to do, at that time of the day I couldn't escape the flare. So, I decided to make the flare a feature of the image. Today, I'd set out a tripod but this is a hand-held shot and it's not quite symmetrical, the is slightly offset from center. The rings are caused by the coating on the various lens elements if the Sigma wide zoom I owned at the time.
