Been a lurker of this site for a long time as well as many others and through my course I have read a great many topics. One that I found to be interesting is that of UFO pics, reason is quite simple, it's a means to provide proof. Something that has not been done in this field yet, atleast not acknowledged by the hierarchy of our governments.

I recently purchased an expensive 8.1mp Sony CyberShot Digital Camera. For grins every day I go out back, point it to the sky and snap a few pics. While this may seem trival I got the idea from another site I vist where someone living close to my location does the same thing. I was simple amazed at the pics he was producing and thought I had to try this and see if there is anything too it. Well to me there is, Once this pics are snapped there is nothing of importance on the view screen, looks like a normal pic of the sky. Once downloaded to the PC and opened with Photoshop it still resembles a normal pic of the sky, zoom in once or twice however and the sky comes alive with items that are unexplainable. I don't have anything substantial yet as they are simply blips, the more I zoom in the more they pixelate. I have not been lucky enough to snap anything of a saucer shape or triangle or the more elusive top shapes. I will say however that these are not planes nor are they birds in my opinion, they are all round in shape and they are everywhere, One shot I have has atleast 5 in a small group and viewing it gives an ominous feeling that there is more than meets the eye in the sky.

Any of you wishing to try this out might just be in awe at whats up there, I know it has peeked my interest and hopes that I might actually get something good. I do live in the country about 60 miles outside of the major city so there is lots of open spaces to get on higher ground to take shots of the horizon and these anomalies. So far the items in my pics are from a great distance and can only been seen in Photoshop zoomed in, the standard zoom does not depict them. I can only hope that I can get that lucky shot that is a bit closer and more focused. The gentleman I was referring to at the other site has some pretty incredible shots of all shapes and sizes and you can definately tell they are not any aircraft we have knowledge about as of this date.

Now I'm sure many of you would be willing to dismiss this as sun spots, birds, dirty lens and so forth, Trust me, Just try it for yourself and I think you might see what I'm referring too.

Peace...

at least post some pictures here as an example -_-

Are you shooting RAW or JPEG images? JPEG is a data lossy compression format which creates artefacts.

It's possible that the light is being reflected off of small bugs.

Either way both are prone to artifacts..

Raw is prone to it as photography isn't an exact science, close data tends to be replicated well but things in the sky could be made up based on the camera's interpretation of it, add in jpeg and its a huge gamble on any distant data

edit: By distant data I mean anything that needs to be zoomed in on digitally.

But RAW is lossless and not subject to in-camera software 'manipulation', its as close to an analogue capture as possible with current generation digicams. Odd how these anomalies rarely occur with hi-end DSLR's and RAW shooting - sensor dust excepted

Currently was using JPEG but thanks for the insight, was not aware of the issues involved. Must be why nothing is substantial yet
