OMG re viral...lol!!
Yes can give you the details you ask for there Phil. But first the reason i dont think its flare...if you look at the full picture on the Sea News
http://www.doverforum.com/sea-news/
you can see it represent just a tiny bit of the whole pic..(the pics above are enlargements) and it just doesnt look like the flare we see year in year out ..in that main pic particularly. Loads of other lights on view, none producing 'flare'. The camera was a Nikon P7100 compact relatively new and it was not taken through glass. It was taken with no glass no window in front of it. The card is an SD card again fairly new.
there you have it. As Phil from the Express says...I didnt notice this to begin with..just photographed the seafront lights for the Sea News page, twas only later I wondered what it was.
Must return now to my accountant..the deadline looms..
