Since there was some talk of problems with shooting into the sun I thought I would share how I deal with this issue.

 

1. Place the flare outside the are of interest

Image with boats on right still has some flare but most can be cloned or healed out.

 

2. Use an umbrella to block out sun to stop flare for one shot, and second shot with sun. Simply brush in/out desired areas in Photoshop.

 

3. When sun is right in the middle of frame shoot one at desired f-stop to get sun burst effect, and second wide open to reduce flare. Then just Photoshop as above.
