I'm not a total idiot...while I understand pointing directly into the sun will have issues...if you have a game camera set up you shouldnt get pics like that no matter what direction its pointed...Also the sun doesnt come out at 0249 am according to the time stamp on pic the OP uploaded...Ive had pics similar to that when an animal (raccoon) climbed up the tree and set off the camera.
Notice the timestamp...my camera was pointed east..
