There is nothing unusual in your photos and as LD150 correctly assesses, you are taking night mode photos directly pointing the camera at bright light sources, which would absolutely do what you posted.

Night mode uses time exposure of anything up to 3 seconds and strong point light sources should be avoided.
Its only in the last few years that this kind of shot could be taken at all.
