Second SUN??? Hungary, Lake Balaton June 5th 2011

I'm right there with ya, Jason.

Well, you know, I'm glad, but at the same time disappointed. Here's what was caught the following day...

Just a Lens Flare

A few months ago I saw a video with the reflection off a windshield and a swimming pool but not as good as this one.

If someone is clever and skilled enough in photo altering, and is a logical and technical thinker with an education in light/shape/shadow/, they could painstakingly produce this. But, the question would then be, "Why?"

[msred]

I went out to take a picture of the sun as it was rising, specifically to see what a lens flare looks like while taking a picture. I had several as I was focused on the sun, which was mighty bright. But, they didn't show up on my images when I downloaded them. I intend on trying again at around 3pm, when I have best view of the sun in my area. Will see what happens.

As for the vid, I've watched, stopped, reversed, re-watched, stopped-started in repetitions, etc., trying all which ways to find it being fake. I gave up. There is one question that kept coming to mind... it is in that the supposed second sun is behind the cloud, but is peeping through... I think Brian caught it in his last image post. Do you think there is a break in the cloud, or is it two clouds (one behind, one in front), or what?

Can't think of one optical illusion that would cause a reflection on the water..... great time lapse video... thank you for the find Msred
