Thanks David. I’m pretty sure I used the 80mm Zeiss Planar. For the shallow depth of field I kept it pretty wide open - I think @f4, around 1/2s to blur the water - which was moving fairly rapidly. When I printed it in the darkroom, I taped the image to the base board and let the bottom curl up a little to increase the blur of the water. I burned in the water severely as well as parts of the sky and heavily dodged the strip of fog to make it really stand out.
This is a really nice image Paul. It's also the first example that clearly illustrates a question I've had. In a lens with a higher number of aperture blades, the aperture tends to be more circular. Would that actually change the central lens flare reflections (I know there's a more proper term for them) into a more circular shape as well, or is this a myth?

Thanks MTG. I don’t know the answer to your question. I know that if you shoot wide open you can avoid having stars from light sources but I don’t know how it would affect the lens flare. Maybe someone else can chime in ?
