Unusual, high speed, high altitude flyby over populated area - with possible picture bonus content.

I am sorry if it's not to your standards. Again, very short sighting. Smartphone camera, not a lot of possibility to maneuver. I guess I am lucky that something "clicked" in my head to pull the phone out and take photos... I am usually very slow...

I'd be willing to wager the new iPhone has some kind of built in filter layer on its lense. With it being so compact and closeness to the chip it would more then likely ammolify the size and strength of the glare.

And yes that is a great photo for an iPhone looking into the sun. I've taken some at concerts with my iphone5 and they look better then ones from any of my professional cameras. Apple definitely has low and high light situations covered.

So, it is settled - sun flare than.

Here, this might help:





Definitely two aircraft flying in close proximity. I too think the purple orb is a lens flare.
