Because you're shooting into the sun?
At least it's a real lens flare and not Photoshopped in. I kinda like it. I try to get a lens flare like that and it never happens.
I think there's a filter to cure that. Or maybe a lens hood.

lens flare is (i believe) an artifact of direct sunlight bouncing around inside the lens creating "ghosts" on the image of various pieces of glass the light is passing through within the lens. i love natural lens flares, these fake photoshopped in ones are what bother me...

Here's a few recent ones.

This first one is a crop.

Only wish I could get them both in focus, any ideas?? Used a 70-300mm at 300mm, f/10 for 1/500s, ISO 200. I'm guessing with this lens the Moon can't be in the same field depth as the tree, which I'm not exactly standing next to...

Very large pieces of the 787 Dreamliner, primarily one-piece carbon fiber fuselage sections (fwd, middle, aft), horizontal stabilizers and the main wings, plus whatever else they feel like shipping. That departure was probably to bring the shipping tooling back to the partner sites or to go pick up another major section. The 787 is not really built in Everett, it is assembled from completed sections from the partner sites like Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, Fuji, Spirit Aero or Alenia, amongst other partners. The Dreamlifter can only be used to ship 787 parts due to its limited FAA type cert, hence its name. Damn thing needs more runway to lift off than the Antonov, and it was probably empty except for tooling!

some lens flare is desirable and appealing

I like the shot!
