A photography question
Thursday, September 29, 2005 by GoodMorphing | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I got a digital camera awhile ago. The other night I was out at the beach experimenting with it. I took this shot ( http://goodmorphing.wincustomize.com/photos.aspx?a=1&p=18&view=full ) which at first glance seemed like the moon. But the moon is not in full phase now. I enlarged that section and whatever it is seems to have something orbiting it. Also, it is a very 'happy faced' moon. I know from working with film I can kink the film as I wind it, or leave a bubble, or drop some dust during the development process.. but can a digital camera produce some artifact?

Some digital cameras can have 'hot pixels' which show up as white dots. Could be what the small image is.
The large image could be flare, could also be an illuminated dust spot on the lens... it does appear to be out of focus.
I have noticed all your horizons slope from right to left. Do you have a natural lean to the left? 
Could be that stash of chocolate weighing you down, I'm afraid I'll have to confiscate it... for the sake of your photography of course...

Starkers... well then. I got the goods on them... wonder how much they would be willing to pay to cover up the extra terrestrial littering fee?
hehe.. I've noticed that too fuzzy. I have a hard time feeling comfortable with the tripod. I am looking forward to trying that string trick.
I was about asleep when I smelled smoke... a big fire only about a block away from the house that burned down three times already. This is one picture I got. By the time I got dressed and batteries in my camera.. the fire was a lot less dramatic.

Upon closer inspection, it seems they have an adequate dumpster....think the money to be made there is in the collection fees

a. Unexplained digital camera error or artifact.
b. Exstraterrestrial intervension.
c. Your camera got crazy and zoomed in to night sky till planet Uranus!
Are you playing with our minds GoodMorphing?
Cause this looks as if someone just put that in the picture. An artificial add-on,maybe with Photoshop. If not then is a very paradox phenomenon. The light symmetry and distancing does not agree with the rest of the objects in the picture. Unless it's a moving target (e.g. a helicopter or plane and camera didn't focus on it,thus blurred the light emitted.)
Well from my point of view that is all.

Nope. That is really what was there. But I have been out at that beach a lot more nights in the early evenings. I'm thinking maybe it could be a low plane coming in, and its light shining through a cloud. I know it looks like a face, that was why I hesitated to ask.
The reason I was bouncing this thread up was because I found this tripod that seems interesting to me. I like it because it is so small, and can be strapped onto a tree or sign or whatnot. I think I will get one when I can find one over here. http://www.spartanphotocenter.com/Ultra_pod.htm

I've been wondering if it wasn't one of those airport searchlight things... usually you can see the path from the point of origin up, but I was standing with that area almost exactly behind me. In that case and with the ambient city lights, perhaps the path blended in?
That makes me feel less like a lunatic... thanks!
Ande... if it is a planet and I found it, that would make me quite rich? But if NASA got wind of it maybe not... Maybe I should keep my wealth a secret.
disregard my personal icon.. I lost mine while I was updating my desktop... I'll replace it when I can find a copy.
