Tim, our reader in North Carolina seeks information on something his daughter photographed.
Tim writes:
"I have a request: would you be willing to take a look at a very strange picture taken by my daughter on one of those
small disposable type cameras that one can buy at Wal-Mart, for instance, and return when finished to have the film developed.
She took a picture of my son in front of our house late one night; nothing extraordinary
was noticed at the time.
But, upon development of the film, a strange blur appeared on the roof of our front porch.
Being curious and an amateur, very much so at the best, digital photographer, I decided to do analysis of the picture
using Photoshop Elements 3.
I therefore scanned the photo onto my laptop and performed the following edits, the order
I do not remember: enlarged, cropped, and some type of edits to obtain the clearest image possible with my very limited
experience in performing edits, since I most often photograph birds using a spotting scope.
Please take a look at them and tell me what you think, let me know if you think the image is some type of
entity or just a photographic glitch."
