Flare

Light that does not contribute to the formation of an image but still reaches the sensor and can result in undesired highlights or a softer image. Flare can be cut down to a minimum with the help of lens coatings and hoods. When shooting in the direction of a bright light source, flare can continue to be a challenge for photographers.
