That's ridiculous logic
[edit on 21-3-2010 by hippomchippo]
The only ridiculous logic here is yours.
You don't have a leg to stand on. Not only does the op's photo's capture this, there are tons of videos online and even more photos.
And as I have said countless times, I have seen it with my OWN two eyes. Have you been paying attention? Obviously not.
The evidence is overwhelming!
The only trouble here is, people do not want to except it........and you are one of them, or you or they are flat out lieing.
Lieing to me is not a good idea. Please, don't push me.
I am convinced of this. Nothing is going to change my mind. NOTHING.
I think this thread explains what it is pretty well.

Many thanks to the author of that thread.
Edit: To pay homage. (love that name. How fiitting.eh?)

It wouldn't matter if Albert Einstein himself come back from the grave and sat man to man with me and told me I was wrong at this point.
You are wasting your time. And the way I understand it, you don't have much of that left. So why don't you go do something useful.
Although the Op's photo's and many others are "concrete" evidence,
I saw it for myself. I don't need validation from you or any other modern day scientist.
What part of that do you not understand?
You are one more "confrontational" post away from getting put on my ignore list. And that is just for starters.
Do you want to be the first?
Someone once told me: When you feel like all is lost, look up for your redemption draws nigh! (something like that)
And yes indeed it does!
I am one of the ones (if not the one) that this has been kept hidden from.
So, have some dignity and give it up. It is a "dead" issue.
That is it. Cut and dry.

Not very scientific i know,and i cant prove it,but i honestly have never noticed that effect before

When photographing the sun, take every effort to protect your eyes and your camera!
It’s vital when photographing the sun not to stare at it too long through the lens. You can damage your eyes as well as your camera.
-Flare: watch out for lens flare (don’t shoot directly into the sun) and keep your lens surface and lens filters clean.
I've taken pictures of the sun by projecting an image from a right-angle spotting scope onto a piece of paper. I took a picture of the image projected on the paper. I've taken images of eclipses, Mercury transits, and sun spots using this technique. Pin-hole projection cameras also work. You can also buy solar filters from astronomy stores which allows you to safely photograph and view the sun.

As an amatuer astronomer, I'd just like to point out that brown/red dwarf stars could only be seen with infared equipment.

It's because the pros know the difference between lens flares and sun dogs and real objects, unlike the people here saying "It's not a lens flare! It's not a sun dog!"

If these were not lens flares, if this was a planet, there are some major problems:
These are photos with lens flares and yes, looking at the Sun will cause you to see spots.
