Curious Events Day

This was actually taken back in August but it fits today's holiday. I have not yet figured out why my cell phone camera does this, but I have figured out the conditions that make it happen. Every time the "trumpet" appears there is a large and very strong solar flare coming from one of the corners of the picture. But only when it comes in at a certain angle- and I can't always replicate the conditions or angle. So it's still a curious event when it happens!

I have another meeting tonight, so I'll be back tomorrow to catch up with all your projects.

Sounds like it is a perfect fit. This is the first time l have heard about this

It’s a very interesting effect. Too bad you can’t replicate it when you want to.

[Rick Schies]

That is quite interesting. I have gotten sun flares before but never a trumpet

[Joan Robillard]

Cool

[Kathy]

@grammyn What makes it tricky is that because I'm shooting into the sun I can't always see the way the light is being bent onto/into the cell phone.

Lovely play of light.

@olivetreeann I understand how that could make it more difficult

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@haskar Thank you Hannah!
@grammyn Thanks Katy- it also makes the reward of catching it all the more fun.
