Title: 'Photojacked'...
Post by: Windy on January 31, 2011, 12:14:42 AM
By some pixie spirit!

Took the dog out late tonight and did some long exposures in the failing light - got a very wierd 'flare' on this one  ;D

That's great!  This is how some of the so-called UFO photos get going around.

Lens flare and internal reflections!  I've had this happen during long night exposures too. 

Yours is exceptionally good!

I am kinda of addicted to japanese horror movies and I can tell you there is good potential for a script down here. I mean, that flare is more than just an anomaly.. that must be something BAAAAAAD  :o I would sell/give the camera immediately!!!  ::)

It totally has a face! Thats amazing! I thought you PS'd it in. I really did, until I read everything.

Spooky indeed... if it wasn't that I'm a skeptic at heart, I'd swear it was something ghostly  ;D

It was following me, finished scanning and found another one (http://www.flickr.com/photos/acf_windy/5404808435/).

I'm assuming the 'eyes' are due to the shape of the filament in the street lights - is that likely?

Yes, Astrobeck, you can understand why early photographers thought they had caught pictures of spirits. and Carl - the lens may be 'haunted' but I'm fond of it ;)

Are you sure that's flare Mr Windy. I'm sure I've seen him coming out the Clachen Bar!
