What is this?
[edit]A simple template for use with my own photographs which
- explains that the starburst effect in the photo is due to the Loxia lens used here, and
- auto-categorizes the photo into Category:Starburst effect.
NB: If you want to categorize the photo into a subcategory of Category:Starburst effect instead, add the name of that subcategory as the named parameter cat=... to the template – e.g., use {{User:Aristeas/Loxia stars|cat=Diffraction spikes around the Sun}} to auto-categorize a photo into Category:Diffraction spikes around the Sun. Thank you!

[edit]Hint: The diffraction spikes (a.k.a. sunstars or starburst effect) in this image have not been added in post-production or by using effect filters etc., but are a speciality of the Loxia lens used for this photograph, which (for the good or the bad) creates well-defined sunstars beginning at f/4. I cannot avoid that, so let us enjoy it. ;–)
