Thanks for the comments. As I said before, I do like the effect, I just
like to understand it better so I can control when I get it. I think it
makes these photos work, although the black and white would have been fine
without it.
The film is Ultra 50, the exposure was somewhere around 5 sec
Wow! I like the effect, looks like a diffraction grating. Of course, you
want to know how to get rid of it...

Jeff,
That flare you discribe adds a great deal of charm to your pics.
I just love it - although it's "officially" a no-no taking
pictures into the sun. I do it anyway too, if I feel the results add
to the intended effect.
Just curious: how long was the exposure?
I have a pic in my gallery with
My Zero2000 exhibits the same flare and I've come to love it! I like the
effect it gives your pictures as well. To eliminate, follow the same rules you
would use with a lensed camera - Don't shoot into the sun!
Enjoy your flare!

I've had the holga lens produce flare simmilar to that of a pinhole, but
it's in more of a circular pattern. Maybe it has to do with the fact that
there's only one element in both.

Jeff,
If you were using a lens camera the effect would be lens flare. I'm not sure
of the physics behind it, but I would guess the light is bouncing off the
edge of the pinhole. Any one out there who knows better then I?

Throwing out the rules... the sun causes the flare; but why follow
rules?
