    Vertical/Horizontal Falre



    I have no idea if this is even considered flare. In this photoyou can see what I am talking about. I wish I could show you a better example, but I just can't find one because Ido not know what to call it or search under. So one: what is it called? and two: howdo you do it? (post processed or in-camera?)

    My best guess on the technique:


    Car stationary in a lower light situation, car lights on, lights are on on the background


    Camera is set to f11 and a slow shutter like 1/2 sec flash is set on manual full power.


    Camera is moved left then right, flash is set to rear(second) curtain.


    This allows the motion of the background a relatively sharp main subject

    Except, the background is not moving. The brick wall and the overhead lights are stationary, so the camera wasn't moved. Looks to me like the car's lights were 'stretched' in post-processing (not too hard in Photoshop).
