How do you make lights look like stars in photos?

What is starburst flare?
The starburst effect results from pointing your lens at a bright source point of light, such as the sun or street lights at night. The effect renders a source point of light not as a bright dot, but rather as “star-shaped” with tines radiating around the light source.
How do you get star flare?
In general, to get the star effect, the sun will be off-axis, but, when composing, take care to not swing the lens directly at the sun. If the scene is still too bright for a DSLR viewfinder, try the live view mode, if available. Not only can the light be bad for your eyes, it can be bad for your camera.
