Anamorphic Rays

Directional highlight streaks for headlights, speculars and night energy.

Bright streaks around headlights and speculars come from long exposures, anamorphic flares and bloom. Night driving and concert photography made the language romantic.

The preset pushes highlights into motion and glow so light becomes a drawing tool.
