UFOs

Since UFO footage disclosed by U.S. showing a football-shaped object near Japan, Japan has now confirmed they will also release UFO/UAP related documents !
Its almost like they have been embarrassed that the USA knows more about what is going on in Japans airspace than they do - this could be interesting as japan releases stuff they have got that is even more convincing as as not to look like they have been lacking in monitoring their own airspace.

Direct sunlight is behind them look at the shadows - to create a lens flare a source of strong light needs to hit the lens at a side angle

The only* light on the moon is reflected from the lunar regolith. As such the light source is entirely from the front and side for that photo. This is the same reason you can get lens flare with flash photography. Here's an example where a photographer gets blue light flare with a light source directly Infront of a camera.


What's probably happening in these pictures is that light is being reflected off the ground Infront of the camera and refracting in the lens. That's why you get the vertical trail.
 
Aveatry doesn't know much about the Apollo program, which is fine. The book 'A man on the moon' by Chakin is excellent and gives a really good overview of the Apollo program. Worth reading. If he had read about it he'd know about the camera issue when Bean broke one and other trivia about photography on the lunar surface.

Aveatry also doesn't know about photography, which is fine, but he failed to Google it even briefly because of he did he'd find out that lens flare is caused by frontal light sources.

Aveatry didn't know about other photographs showing lens flare over the regolith because he didn't look. A routine part of any sort of investigation is looking for something that would disprove your theory. "Can these appear without aliens" should be the first thing you check when you're looking at a UFO. Aveatry didn't do that.

Just like the links to videos he's ignorant and lazy. One or the other is manageable but together you get, well, Aveatry and his circle of cheerleaders.

We were talking about STILL CAMERAS in relation to the blue "lens flare"

No, until now we've been talking about cameras. You might have meant only still cameras but I was answering the message you wrote down.

The subject we were talking about was LENS FLARE - NOT possible FILM DAMAGE

Yeah, that's the blue bit in the three images in the second post. The rest of the artifacts do look like film damage through now you mention it. I guess that photo doesn't show anything after all.

Wrong - you do not get a lens flare with that scene to get a flare you need a bright spot of light - like you said - a flash

The lens is curved so any "flare" would be at an angle and not vertical as in the photo
