Volumetric Lighting - PoC

volumetric lighting, sometimes called god rays, is when distinct shafts of light becomes visible; generally through windows but also occurs in nature. I will get more into this later on…

#1 without bloom

there is a bit of the volumetric effect happening here, but not enough. however, it does prove that the technique works...

I have seen the photos before with this effect, but I never knew what it was called

I was fortunate to see this in a church but the rays were much more evident!
