First and foremost, sun stars do not have to be created by the sun. You can just as easily point your camera at another light source, like I idid above in this photo I took of Glens Falls. I should mention that it helps to stop the aperture down on your lens a bit, so this is probably not a look you could easily achieve on your phone camera.
Another non-sun example is this photo I took in Congress Park in Saratoga Springs. I just love how the sun star is reflected in the water.
I captured the sun in the background of this self-portrait in Saratoga’s Congress Park.
