i had my tail facing north for a night and had nice clear pics, then i changed it to look directly east, when i changed it to look east it started taking white pictures, like the picture shown.
i been reading on a couple forums that maybe i should only face it north or south? any suggestions on why its doing this?? its a wildlife red 6 camera

It sort of looks like condensation built up inside on the glass cover of the box protecting the lens. I have had a similar problem when the humidity is very high and the temperature near or just below freezing. I see your camera recorded the temperature at 35 degrees. You can see rounded edges on the lens cover suggesting something liquid and condensation droplets might explain it. If the problem goes away when the humidity is lower, you will know that was the problem. Or if you retrieve your camera and open it up and still have condensation on the inside, you will know for sure. I have had quite a bit of condensation over the last month with humidity levels frequently so high.

Take a camera out, point it at the sun, take some pics, and then tell me direction has no bearing on the camera. Most newer digital cameras can "attempt" to compensate for different light conditions. I have no idea how advanced the newer trail cameras are.
