How to avoid flares during sunset?
I'm sure this topic might have been discussed here a lot of times, but somehow I am unable to find one and hence posting this question.
I've been trying to photograph Sunset with rocks as FG which are placed far away (at about 300 feet away). I am using 100-400mm at 300mm with ND filters. Every time I tried and whatever angle I tried I could not avoid flares. I also tried the Hat method (i.e. by placing hat at an angle above the lens) but no use as I'm shooting sun directly placed at the top left corner.
I would really appreciate your advice here.
Thanks.
