I'm no expert, but my understanding is that it's light reflecting between the layers of lenses in your camera, due to small imperfections in the glass--so lenses that zoom will tend to have more flare, b/c you have more layers of glass in the lens. Unless you're shooting into a very bright, focused light beam, the reflection is not visible, but if you shoot at a bright light from a tight source and hit it at the right angle, then you get lens flare.
I think you control them pretty much just by how you angle the lens in taking the shot, and maybe by how much you're zoomed in on the subject. Or with Photoshop.

Very cool! I like the paintings and the photo of them--that glaring light at the top, and the flare at the botto, very nice.
Yeah, hey. Just what are those flares at the bottom. How did I create them and how do I stop them?
Just want to have control over them. They look like little UFOs.
