A lot of UFO pictures are lens flares. If it is a video camera, the cameraman will attempt to centre the UFO, causing it to dart off with incredible speed.
@JonGorman Says:
Clouds during an eclipse make me sad.
@ralanham76 Says:
You can use the flare to line up your camera so it’s straight on….😂 I kinda like the Lins flair. In some cases you can sort of see the levels of filters built into the camera since each flare will have a tented color.

Do our eyes have lens flares...?
@naintham5849 Says:
i came to understand and draw them. Good job :D
@ns4k_tv Says:
Thumbnail was brilliant!
@benedixtify Says:
Lens flares are caused by JJ Abrams

this sparked the same child like joy I got when I first subscribed ages ago
@tinach7020 Says:
@3:00 That is a reflection of the sun. I've tested it on cloudy days and by taking a photo with an object, between myself and the sun, obscuring it. So it's Sol's reflection.
@LOKSTED Says:
I can put my hand behind the sun easily. Just wait 6 months, and I'll show you
@Wtsteph Says:
Those lens flares were caught on video though and not still videos. So that one doesn’t make sense.
@liquidkebab28383 Says:
Funfact: any spherical camera lens is a anamorphic camera lens if you aim it to your left or right and walk really, really fast. (Length contraction) But on a interested note: Why do you get those flare lines in anamorphic lenses? Why does light behave there differently than everything else that contracts?
@ChokingAhogo Says:
oh this is SO fascinating (as a photographer)
@alexeecs Says:
Do eyes have lens flares

Can you speak slowly , please ?
@JerrycanSmith Says:
I'm so happy you're still making videos. I used to watch every new video in hs and my early 20s. Nice to know you're still here.
@finlayeuh Says:
so thats what im seeing in my glasses
@younscrafter7372 Says:
What I find interesting is that we are so used to seeing lens flares from the sun that they are often included in animated movies, at least in scenes that draw attention to the sun
@jasonspades1265 Says:
Is there an explanation that gets to the point without the B.S.
@moritzheintze7615 Says:
5:16 - A ghost image is *not* a lens flare, they are two distinct flaws with different root causes.
@samuelstewart2762 Says:
does lens flare cause spiders or clouding in the les to degrade the lens in operation
@nassim99345 Says:
You talk too fast
@roeesi-personal Says:
You can also get flares inside your own eyes (or at least I can), when you look at a strong light projector you can see a rainbow around it (and probably other circles as well) which is a diffraction flare of the human eye.
@Al-cynic Says:
naaah!, ... it's UFO's every time.
@rainerjohnsen Says:
it was a toonie the whole time?
@MeeKtheOWL Says:
If I look at a bright led and just squint, it recreates an interference pattern in the flares.... neat!
@NityaKrishnaDas926 Says:
Cool
@oopsy444 Says:
TIFO solar eclipses can ruin cameras! I only assumed it was our eyes.
@jonshellmusic Says:
But can you explain why JJ Abrams is so obsessed with lens flares?
@SergiMedina Says:
I hate lens flares. They're NOT natural, the eyes DO NOT suffer them. Especially bad an unbearable, artifical and just brutally UGLY are elevated black levels, washed out look, milky whatever o whatever is called... I HATE it in movies and videogames, God!!! Also, that "bloom" effect in videogames or the equivalent in photography is disgusting. Thanks.
@nsTurkish Says:
Turkish subtitles please
@Windows__2000 Says:
The thumbnail is already the answer
@ryangibney3631 Says:
Saw the toonie at the end, is this guy Canadian after all this time?
@Big007Boss Says:
Why doesn’t the human eye experience lens flare effect? It is essentially a lens
@srgkzy1294 Says:
OMG 😊 ❤ i did this during the eclipse hehehe It was fun ^^
@thatchesterguy Says:
Was that a toonie?
@xizar0rg Says:
I wasn't able to photograph the eclipse so much as I was able to capture a very nice lens flare of the eclipse.
@supreme-man Says:
1:50 didn't expect that jump scare

@CreamusG Says:
My left eye sees 35 images. How's that for lens flare?
@KeshenMac Says:
1:45 So brighter = more disadvantaged for privacy
@TrevorGoulet-f4q Says:
Why the Toonie at the start and end of the video? Is there some Canadian reference or shout-out here?
@cablio Says:
Shouldn't "by a hundred, or a thousand, or a ten thousand" be "or a hundred thousand"?
@twang5446 Says:
But why iPhone seems to have much worse flare than other phones? Anything to do with the "sapphire" lens?
@eklhaft4531 Says:
this is why it's really easy to see inside house at night ... **checks blinds**

@bbbenj Says:
Very interesting, thanks a lot 👍
@adityaadit2004 Says:
can you please explain how aperture affects depth of field in camera in terms of mechanical?
@filmdetective Says:
Do you want to hear an amazing great tidbit I discovered on my own when I was around 20… So there was a partial eclipse here in France and I was taking pics… whatever. But when I went back inside I noticed the light from the part-eclipsed sun was shinning through the leaves of a tree, as it does… BUT the patterns on the floor were croissant shaped!!! It led me to understand that the usual shapes on the floor aren’t a projection of the leaf holes but rather a pinhole photography of the sun’s shape!!! Usually round, this time croissant… 😅 amazing.
