Solar Flare - Lake St Clair

Flare and bubble burst are combined effect of tiny lens and SMaL

imager with an extended dynamic range - a direct download from raw

on camera to jpg (no processing other than undeciphered SMaL

conversion of patented raw to jpg).

Nice photo... My only criticism is the tilt of the frame which could be fixed in photoshop or another editor. 5/6

Thanks, Norman. I'd rather not need to fix tilt, but in this case after looking through viewfinder and being temporarily blinded, I managed to tilt camera 2 degrees. For my photos demonstrating SMaL technology I have tried to avoid any post processing (I did try to tilt this before posting - but it squeezed ring on right and pink burst on top and bottom so I just left as is). The real flaw was due to a blinded brite_eye - my linux-hacker pseudonym.
