2. ORIGINAL IMAGE WITH EXIF DATA:


Note: Use slider bar

so we have:
Flash: Flash fired, compulsory flash mode
and
exposure time: 1/250


well... the flash WAS indeed used as i guessed.


and a bug flying 10 km/h at just 1.5 meters away from camera, means 10000 meters / 3600 seconds, or 2.77 meters/second.
During our exposure time which is 1/250 sec, (the time the exposure system is acting, letting ambiental light to be recorded on the senzor) the bug is moving therefore 1.1 centimeters, giving an elongated blur, the dark part we see it.
The flash is started ussually at the begining of the exposure action, and is lasting less time, maximum 1/500 or ussually 1/1000 seconds or even less...so, it (strongly!) illuminates the near bug in a half or quarter time, meaning the blur length is 5 or better 2.5 milimeters. So, the bug is moving from left to right in the OP image.


We see this (aprox) 1:4 ratio in the image:



well, the above calculus is aproximative not taking in consideration the length of the bug itself, but esential is the idea behind how technique works

Esentially, we have a double exposure, with different time intervals, when the flash is used, and if objects in image are moving, we record different aspects.

Just for fun, my button evolved in some kind of a moving thing:






On the other hand, it could be an alien ship, but we will never know that.

Personally i let this kind of samples behind, simply because i can't rule out the much common "bug-flash system". Inconclusive.

Fount it..another example of similar "UFO", even much clear:

UFO-Fake-or something else?

Depthoffield.....

Fair dinkum I love your stuff!!!!!!!

I also now understand your explanation as to the appearance of the "bright spot + dark streak".....it took me a couple of go's but now I get it!

The op's Mum is lucky it wasn't one of these bugs!

depthoffield - I agree with MMN - you're scarily good at this stuff!! Very impressed...

Naturally, with such a small object, it is impossible to be definitive, but crikey mate - your suggestion is right on the money.


May I ask ... have you done photogrammetry in a serious way, or is it just a hobby? (..that you have taken to a much higher level than me )

Hi, CHRLZ!

No, just a hobby (photography, basic optics and understandings or at least thinking of how stuff works) together with an engineer background.

Cheers!

As for both of you, keep doing your good job here, i don't have time to read much of what is said here on ATS, but from what i read, i agree with both of you and like the way both of you think.
