Key tips

Pay attention to the sunstar effect when shooting with direct sunlight through trees, which can be enhanced by a small aperture.
Use a small aperture like f/20 when shooting directly into the sun to create a sunstar effect.
Use a small aperture like f/18 to create a distinct sunstar effect when shooting directly against the light.
