It's Friday, so time for a more light-hearted post. Yesterday I was walking back to my car when I spotted a mysterious slow-moving light in the sky . And unlike those farmers in US midwestern states who just phone up a newspaper and talk about being probed but can offer little in the way of proof, I happened to have my dslr with me!

Anyway, in the grand tradition of UFO photos, I took my photos handheld at 300mm to ensure I couldn't avoid slight blurriness, with ISO3200 to maximise graininess so as to make sure you can extract as little information as possible while maintaining what is (hopefully) at least ambiguous enough to appear intriguing. I then edited it to "improve" contrast.



Should be enough to convince your average conspiracy theorist, no?

C&C Welcome (also.. advice on how to take better photos in this style of ordinary objects that are not really alien spacecraft )

Normally I would critique this type of photograph, but last night I was kidnapped by aliens and my memory has been erased.

Phone home.

Phone home.

Phone home.

and in the bottom left - that light - is that an alien running along with his glowing finger in the air?

so waht is it ?? The moon?

It was a small blimp with "Holden" written on the side. (And I reckon it was fiendishly clever of the aliens to camouflage their ship so that it looked like an advertising promotion.)

bah ... my shot was MUCH better

(although being part of a Holden club knew it was appearing - just didnt have a telephoto lens to take advantage of it )

Top left corner if you weren't able to CLEARLY spot it



Got no advice for that kind of shot sorry

BT*ist you are pulling our legs, surely! Just in case you are not... this is mine too...

Hi Zafra52

I see lots of those after a bottle of wine and I get them in my head when I see my boss happening along.

Great photo there Zafra52 - a little more depth of field and sharpness would be nice!

BT*ist - maybe you have photographed an alien parachutist? or special lens delivery by Mr. Poon?

Cheers

Hi Bago100. I haven't seen you around this neck of the wood. The only alien there was the photographer and what you see in the picute is the F1 11 passing by during the grand finale of River Fire in Brisbane last year. It was taken with my last instant Olymous, which I miss so much because although it was not an slr it had a 10X magnification. But I agree with you, I could have done with a few drinks on the night for there were so many families with their kids making a nuisance of themselves...
