This is just lovely!

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?
Actually not too far away. Just south of Shelbyville in Bedford County just over the Coffee Co line. I live over in Manchester.

Thank you!This is just lovely!
Thanks JimNice shot! The placement of the hay bales is great and the the orange filter in the sky and clouds really works.

Great shot!
The internal reflections in a lens caused by a bright light source in frame (or sometimes just out of frame) -- not "flare" which is an overall loss of contrast from light scatter, vs. these which are low-intensity specular reflection from air-glass or (even lower intensity) glass/glass interfaces.
Whatever portion of the visible reflection are of the iris shadowing a reflection from a rear group interface will be altered by changing the shape of the aperture.
That is to say, yes, some of the internal reflections will be reshaped by changing the number or arrangement of iris blades (and sometimes shutter blades, for a leaf shutter and very short electronic flash not perfectly synchronized with maximum opening). Others, specifically those formed forward of the aperture, will not.

I think you did a lovely conversion of this and a wonderful capture!Linhof Technikardan S45, Schneider-Kreuznach Apo-Symmar L 5.6/150, CPL, Velvia 50.

If you don't mind, and not to sidetrack too much, but could you share your new workflow for slide repro?Thanks Jon. It's finally at the point where I'm happy with it.
My new workflow makes slide repro so much easier and more accurate. I'm kicking myself for not doing it earlier, to be honest. In the longer term I will probably end up re-digitising the best ones.

Preferably in a dedicated thread, but that would be good.If you don't mind, and not to sidetrack too much, but could you share your new workflow for slide repro?
