Lens Flare and God Rays

In today’s lesson, we added lens flare and god rays to an image in photoshop

Lens flare:

God rays:

Lens Flare: filter – render – lens flare

God rays: select – colour range – highlights – adjust fuzziness and range – ctrl j to duplicate layer – filter – blur – radial blur – zoom – draft – adjust it – done

This will be useful for my fantasy brief because it could help me make a cinematic title sequence. But I have no plans for a title sequence as I have chosen to do an animation. However, if I was using it, I could use a lens flare on the sun and add god rays to show the sun rays in say a forest scene like the above pictures. This could add interest to the scene as it would keep the audience interested. I could use it in other scenes too.
