New avatar. . taken just before sunset today.11/17/05 Any ideas as to how the heck this happened. would be appreciated! Nov 17 05 10:37 pm Link could be a combination of lens flare and the seser not being able to handle the extreme overexposure, i.e. "digital noise." Nov 18 05 12:07 am Link What camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, filters, etc. did you use? Nov 18 05 12:19 am Link Looks like a combination of lens flare, glare and an overwhelmed sensor. Or it's a lightsaber.

Nov 18 05 01:17 pm Link I've seen this before and it seems to be a digital problem rather than lens flare which affects both film and digital. I'm not an electrical engineer, but the fact that it runs perfectly horizontal (camera is rotated, right?), I would say that the sensor is so overloaded that no data can be read from the entire row of photo diodes.
