#3 How to use your camera settings to get a multi point star filter effect

depending on the circumstances.

    Good to know. Sometimes I’ve accidentally managed to get this star effect, but wasn’t sure why. I just went back through my photo’s meta data and now see that the F-stop was quite high on all of the ones showing the star effect. Thanks again. Now I can do it intentionally!
