Title: What?
Post by: Dale Villeponteaux on March 05, 2013, 07:29:57 pm

What is this phenomenon?  Not a lens artifact; I took this photo of what I saw.  Don't remember where the sun was, since this was several years ago.

Moon and Venus or bright star?

Is this film or digital?

If it is film, then the classic old crescent moon is a pressure point caused by creasing while loading the film into a reel.

Well Whatever you saw and photographed was not in focus.  When you say saw - do you mean saw with the naked eye or saw through the camera?

I remember it as being seen by the naked eye and took two snaps with a digital camera.
But then, this was several years ago and my memory is not what it ever was.

Thanks for commenting,
Dale

Looks like the port engine of a Klingon battle cruiser with a dodgy cloaking system!
