A good example of sun glare on film. Had the tree branches not broken up the suns direct light beams, you would have seen symmetrical lights in the shape of a hexagon. The hexagonal reflections are known as lens flare. It is caused by the direct light of the sun (or other bright light source) reflecting through each individual lens of your camera. Sun glare is caught on film less often than lens flare.
