Mayet’s Moon Mystery Oct 2005

Extra Moon In Photo’s ? Picture Weirdness

I take a lot of shots of sunsets and sunrises and last night I was out taking photos just on sunset of the moon and pink clouds.

I was amazed when after one shot I had an image that was not there and then when I came inside to stick the images on my computer I was shocked and flabbergasted at the image.

These shots are of the moon. The moon is rising in the East. I was taking the photo pointing due east.

Then I turned around to capture some nice clouds on the mountaintop facing due west and then I took the below image standing in the same spot as I took the eastern moon images but now facing due north northwest. This is the first one I took. Nothing unusual. I wasn’t going to take any more from this angle because I wasn’t happy with the pictures but then decided to take a couple more

Now for the amazing shot that still has me shaking my head. I know my camera. I know how to take pictures I know what a smudge on the camera looks like, I know what rising smoke looks like and I know what reflections look like.

But this is the moon……….In my shot taken facing north north west and yet the moon was behind me to the backside of my head rising in the east? How is this so. Check the cloud formations in this pic and the one before….

I have just shaken my head and put it down to “the unexplainable”.

I took more images, in fact when I saw that come up in the lcd prevew screen I went snap mad and pointed the camera all over the sky trying to reproduce the effect…but I couldn’t

 

I will put Pichere for your perusal with kind Mayet’s permission.
