Lens Flare?

Shooting from traffic, attempting to catch a full moon several years back, I suffered a camera anomaly that I described as lens flare. The setting of the sun captured off the aperture of the camera, and ended up looking like contrails from an aircraft, a meteor, or a UFO.

I can honestly say: This is lens flare. I remember it when it happened. I have a note on the file. There were no meteors, no contrails, no aircraft, and most importantly, no UFOs to be seen.

The people I was driving to have dinner with I no longer associate with. The person who introduced me to them I no longer associate with. My life has gotten better, and as for the bad times? Baby…never again.

Still, I’d like to be able to take shots like this from time to time again. Being stuck on traffic’s what sucks.

Silver Blue, who would LIKE to snap a photo of a meteor, or a UFO, but that’s not in my portfolio… yet.
