If we lined the two lens flares in as11-40-5873 could it tell us the sun's elevation? And if so, are there any exceptions that lens flares would not pont directly to the sun?

I could be wrong, but I think it would be very imprecise. I suspect it would be too heavily dependent on the curvature of the lens element/s at the exact location where the sun image strikes the lens - both uncertain quantities.

The sun lies along the line suggested by the two flares, but there's no way of knowing where along that line it lies.

That's what I kinda thought but was wondering if the experts knew something.

The reason I ask is that initially I thought that this
image had a lense flare at the top, now I don't know. Anybody know what this is?

Sunstrike. It was at the end of a roll and got light leaked onto it.
