Not what yer thinkin', these are pinhole shots. Usually get more bizarre sun flares on film, maybe digital wizardry tidies them up somehow.

My wife doesn't like this technique. I do.

I was enjoying everyone else's shots and realized I had not shared one of my own.

With minutes of sun remaining, I grabbed a camera, ran out front and looked around. Spotted this.
