I have a short series of photos with these strange marks on them.
(5-6)
They almost look like water spots on the negative, but they are
digital!
They were probably shot in a light rain with strong back lighting.
This photo is ISO 200 at 1/3200 and f7.1, 153mm on the zoom.
So are these rain drop flare or what?
I've never seen such before.
I'd say that you have precisely captured the sunlit raindrops
(backlit and quite visible against the dark profile of the boat) as
they fall. 1/3200 sec is a pretty quick exposure. Some of the
raindrops are in the plane of focus and make nice small dots...
others are much closer to the camera, are out of focus, and make
those big circles.
