Very easy to obtain on any sunny day.
Go out and try to photograph in the middle of the day pointing the camera in a southern direction.
The hour at the beginning of the day, and the end of the day in photography is termed the magic hour.
The lighting is great and there's non of these occurrences happening.
Older model phones had a lot of issues known as the notorious "Samsung Glow" older models as S7-10 eras
Over years of being slid in and out of pockets, the protective chemical coating on the lens glass degrades.
Resulting in getting the iris flare, which has ruined many a photo.
Newer model phones and cameras are improved by camera companies spending $ millions of dollars on R&D to eliminate or minimize these occurrences.
(Though I have a feeling that will be intermitted as undermining the beliefs of Auras that so many have witnessed in photos)
The last sentence brings up and interesting thought why are so many Auras caught in a photo but not with the naked eye?
Easy now! No not a lens flare. Very much too large, widespread & intense, to be just that.
Look again, it's consuming & dominating, overwhelming, controllimg the whole picture frame.
Now when have you ever caught a simple, avoidable lens flare, when in partial shadow & pointed
90 degrees away from the late afternoon sun? If you have, got one to show? That's what I thought at
first, my cell phone camera had messed up. I ignored the pic for a time & finally saw it for what it is. I still
can't believe it. Quinoa had said awhile before, that you could possibly catch an aura with some cell phones,
if you could set it up for interval shooting. I had ran down all 3 of my Nikon batteries, & with the sun waning, I
saw some things I was interested in, so grabbed my still charged cell phone. The 2 previous pics were pointed in
the same direction, under the same canopy, same partial sunlight peeking in: 1st shot was the now missing owl &
then a close triangular group of 3 ankle high cut off cedars {Hmm}, then this pic that makes no other real sense. I've
been taking pics a longer time than I'd want to admit now, & a DSLR for over a decade. I've gotten some limited lens
flare with the special lens filters: some, kind of translucent streaky white, green bluish & even pink. They're always alot
smaller & way controlled, not at all dominating the whole pic, even pointed to the sun sinking on the horizon, the flares
where in the middle or to one side of the pic. Sorry, that's not it! .Also, in heavily laden boulder/marker & alignment area
above & east of the giant land turtle, with a nice diamond shell, corner casting an Omega shadow on it's head (Early Fall).
pepperj: I responded to you because I sensed you have a gentler spirit, & besides the first I've ever talked to, have the nice
Diamond Membership Designation, & I think your questions are honest legitimate conversation & deserves honest ahswers.
