A form of glare, which has become a trope in its own right. It occurs when a bright object, usually the sun, is in the shot. The light causes a glare off every piece of glass it passes through on the way to the film or optical receiver. This causes a little ghostly chain of circles, on an imaginary line from the object through the center of the frame. Notably, this camera glitch is included where it doesn't have to be, for dramatic effect, or to make something look like it was shot with a real camera (See The Coconut Effect). In 3D CGI, the rendering engine can throw one in automatically. (See: the Star Trek (2009) opening sequences, Adobe Photoshop's "Lens Flare" plug-in.) Often, the software will even allow the user to specify the type of lens to be faked. The stylistic use of anamorphic flare (the horizontal, typically blue line) in films largely began in the 1980s, spearheaded by the work of action-movie cinematographers (particularly Jan de Bont) on films such as Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. Michael Bay made it a trademark, and J. J. Abrams turned it into a meme. 3D video games in the mid-to-late 1990s were absolutely polluted with fake-looking lens flare effects. The PlayStation port of Quake II added a little star-shaped glare effect and a lens flare around every light source on the map. Walking down a corridor with spotlights was a ridiculous experience. Games journalists therefore refer to any bandwagon visual effect as "the new lens flare". In older anime, a fake lens flare combined with a sharp sound effect (shaheen!) is used during a beauty shot of any appropriately shiny Humongous Mecha, as parodied several times on Dexter's Laboratory. Artists have many debates over the use of lens flares in animation and CGI. Ironically, the artificial element can add a touch of realism (even without The Coconut Effect) due to the fact that the user is watching the image through a screen.note Unless it's flat. Which an increasing proportion of televisions are. Others feel that the lens flare has been overused and doesn't truly add anything to the image, other than distracting from the quality (or lack there of) of it. Ironically, while artists and animators have been working hard trying to replicate lens flares in their projects for that extra little bit of "authenticity," camera manufacturers have been working equally hard at trying to get it to disappear from actual camera lenses.

WipEout 2097 had a fairly convincing (for its time) star-shaped flare effect applied to your hovership's plasma exhaust. The sequel Wip3out, with its much more minimalistic and clean design, simplified the lens flare to... four flat triangles sticking out◊ from the exhaust. | |

It appears quite often in The Autobiography of Jane Eyre, especially when Jane records her entry outside. It adds to the vlog's unpolished, home-made feel. For instance, it was present when Jane was showing her viewers the sky and a rose garden in episode 1; or when her little student Adele set up the camera to record their dinner, there was light coming from the ceiling lamp in episode 12. | |

In the Supernatural episode "What Is And What Should Never Be" (S02, Ep20), lens flares are seen when Dean shines his flashlight at the camera as he and Sam explore a dark warehouse. In general, later seasons of Supernatural make use of lensflares to show when we're in a real setting and when we're not. Pay attention in particular to scenes in heaven—most if not all of the light sources have a very noticeable lensflare to them. Particularly apparent in season 10's "Inside Man". | |

Older Ace Combat games (such as Air and 2) has no lens flare. Conversely, it got really gratuitous in 3: Electrosphere (but it does look awesome). Later games have it, but not as pronounced. It does serve quite functionally. If you line up the lens flare, you will get disoriented by staring at the sun. Think that's not a big deal? The very first mission in Electrosphere has you heading towards the sunset to intercept some backup fighters. For a lack of better term, you basically couldn't see shit (aside from the lens flare that is). | |

Parodied in Hot Fuzz. When Sgt.

Star Trek (2009): Uses. A LOT. Of lens flare....and is the partial page image for this reason. This was a style decision by director J. J. Abrams, who stated it was to represent "a bright future", though he later admitted he went overboard with it. Most of flares in the movie were real however, as it was a VERY brightly lit set, with the ship shining everywhere, causing the flares. Super 8: The amount of scenes that don't have a lens flare could be counted with both hands. Oh yeah, also made by Abrams. |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was the first Zelda game to use real-time lens flare (the ending cutscene in Link's Awakening featured a faux lens flare in one shot). The flare effect is actually not programmed properly, as the lens flare will display even if the sun is blocked. In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the aliens glow which produces a lens flare. Because there is no cross hair while aiming you bow, this makes it easier to shoot them by lining up the circles of light. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker uses a more realistic hexagonal lens flare plus the darkening of the screen when the camera is pointed at the sun to better simulate the effects of a digital video camera (the image on a digital camera darkens when the camera is pointed at a bright light). |

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain use them on a near-Abrams scale. Cutscenes are full of them but they actually tie in with the gameplay as well, letting you know if you have a light shining on you, which needless to say is not a good thing in a stealth game. | |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the camera does a worm's-eye-view of Jack on the ship's deck, with a big ring-shaped lens flare surrounding him. The DVD commentary shamelessly calls that "the greatest lens flare in cinema". This ring flare appears in a position that should be optically impossible, due to the film being shot in the Super 35 common-top format. | |

Final Fantasy: A prominent lens flare effect is present in Chapter 15 of Final Fantasy VII Remake as Cloud, Barret and Tifa stare down at the remains of Sector 7. In Final Fantasy X, a strong lens flare effect is present throughout a portion of the scene in which Tidus and Yuna view the sunset on the Mi'ihen Highroad as well as some of the battle backgrounds in the area. This is a fairly common effect in Final Fantasy XII to the degree that this article showing preview screens from the game's high-definition The Zodiac Age remaster made a point of it. |

Wonder Woman: The solution to one of the big concerns of the show. Previous live action Superhero shows had phone booths, Batpoles, and ripping of clothes. None of those options were especially good for a gorgeous woman to do regularly in prime time. So Lynda Carter suggested the now iconic ballerina twirl. To do it cost effectively every week, they added the Lens Flare. | |

Chernobyl: When Lyudmilla and Vasily hug in hospital this trope happens, likely a visual shorthand for Lyudmilla getting irradiated by touching her husband, a Chernobyl first responder, who is in his "Walking Ghost" phase of Acute Radiation Syndrome and would die within days. Lyudmilla is actually pregnant and would lose her baby mere hours after giving birth. While she would later remarry and have another child, both of them would have health problems because of that single hug. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: It used a (rather subtle) lens flare during Pinkie Pie's song, "Smile, Smile, Smile." It shows up multiple times in the season three finale, mostly during the first song and its reprise. My Little Pony: The Movie (2017): It's used in the opening, which has a pegasus flying towards the direction of the sun. It's used a couple of other times and there's also a crepuscular rays effect at one point. |

Doctor Who: Flares often appeared in the Classic series accidentally, as a side-effect of the poor production values. One that unintentionally foreshadows the lens-flare-heavy style of 2010s sci-fi is in the shot at the beginning of "Pyramids of Mars" where the Doctor, to show off his updated costume, slowly reveals his face and strikes a pose, and the light from the TARDIS roundel above him casts purple lens flares across the edge of the screen that brighten as his face is revealed. Due to the cheap cameras used, bright light spots - especially flames - show bright red and royal blue afterimages. These could be minimised with effort, but were occasionally exploited for effect - "The Brain of Morbius", a serial featuring a fire cult, is shot to exaggerate this effect, which gives the ritual fire and the sacred Flame a dreamy, slightly trippy look. "Planet of the Daleks", particularly well-shot for a Who story of the time, shows the Daleks on the march through the forest in a shot that makes prominent use of lens flares streaking off their shiny tops. Series 5 and 6 with the Eleventh Doctor, has a ridiculous amount of lens flare, possibly to show off the new HD format (the series 5 premiere was only the fifth episode of the show broadcast in HD). |

The Turing Test: Present all over the place, and it was one of the reasons why some people initially thought Ava was a robot. It actually seems to be due to the player being given TOM's point of view at all times (who just uses Ava's eyes to interact with the world during most of the game). | |

The Legend of Heroes - Trails: The title screen of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC actually opens with a lens flare effect then reveals the sun rising through a pair of mountain peaks in the distance. This seems to be a common effect in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel in any area where you can see the sun. It's particularly noticeable in the Nord Highlands. |

No Man's Sky could easily be 'Lens Flare: The Game'. Every light source has lens flares. Flowers get so bright they cause lens flares and washout when you scan them. | |

Logan's Run has one of the most intense lens flares ever captured, when Logan and Jessica are forced to walk through a narrow corridor into a blinding arc light (used to conceal the identity of those on the other side). The Todd-AO anamorphic lenses used on this movie are today rented specifically for their intense flares. |
