my guess would be the UV filter is do a lot of that....do you have a hood on your lens? That would solve most of it.

try using AV mode instead. I do a lot of my night shots with that and dont get as much lens flare....

No UV filter for me either.

Speaking of hoods, where is a good local place to pick one up?

A polarizer will step you down a couple stops but helps with glare

That is actually fun to play with. Set for a 10 second exposure, have the subject stay in place for four seconds then as quickly as possible move to the next position for the remainder of the exposure.

Looks like this. He bumped the car (looks out of focus, but pipes show the car moved) otherwise this would have turned out great.
