The ‘sunburst’ is a brilliant photographic technique to master as it can transform your sunrise landscape shots. The great thing is it’s fairly simple as you just need a standard zoom lens and to use a narrow aperture around f/11 or f/16 and big bright lights like the sun (or street lights at night) become big stars in your shots!
The amount of aperture blades your lens has will affect how many points are on your sunburst – the number of points in the star is double the number of your lens's iris blades.
