Diffraction is not always bad news for your photos. The golden hours, when the sun is close to the horizon, are the perfect times of day to capture a sunburst. Sun stars are the result of intense light refracting through the lens’s aperture blades, and add visual interest, drama and an added focal point to your landscape shots.
