Cool Pic

**nina** · 05-18-2005 05:18 AM

Ok so I had this project for one of my electives where I had to go to 5 different houses of worship. Anyway...I took about 90 pictures in Catholic churches, Protestant churches, a Mosque, and a Temple...but I thought I would share this one cool pic. It's from when I went to this Buddhist center. I was using a crappy digital camera...it was very dark inside the house where the shrine was, and I was not using any flash. Also, I can't change exposure/shutter speed or any of that so I'm not really sure where this pic came from. Any explanations? I've never gotten ANYTHING that looks like this before with my digi cam, and it only happened in the Buddhist house. Kinda cool huh?

Here's what it really looked like inside there, for comparison purposes.

Mm golden Buddha.

The first photo was definately weird.

**Truthbearer** · 05-18-2005 07:17 PM

that is very very odd...are you sure that it is that picture you took in the dark with no flash? Cause you can obviously make out chairs and all and maybe it was just a picture someone else took with your cam (it's happened to me before...I have no idea where a pic came from, till I realize someone's been using my camera). I dunno...just trying to rationalize...it's in my nature

...huh...weird....

it looks like an empty white room with chairs and a small table. it looks like something from a dream o_o

Thats prety weird lol !!

**nina** · 05-19-2005 03:44 AM

LOL is there an echo in here? Anyway, I'm sure that I took it in the dark without any flash, and I'm certain that I took the picture. It's the room right next to the room with the shrine in it.

Stored by the camera in the picture:

Focal length: 5mm
F-stop: F/2.8
Exposure time: 1 second
ISO-speed: ISO-400

Figure the rest out by yourself...

Um would you mind elaborating on that. I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Like I said, I can't adjust any of that stuff. I'm just confused.

**Stalker** · 05-19-2005 10:04 PM

Maybe you can't, but the camera can. My guess is 1 second is max exposure time for that camera, and the rest is also to allow maximum light to hit the sensor because it was so dark and you didn't use flash. That's why it's so blurry, the long time.

**nina** · 05-20-2005 01:25 AM

Yeah. I guess that could explain it. Though I've never gotten a picture like this with my crappy digital camera before. And how can all that light come from no light at all.

And my camera doesnt auto adjust.

There goes all the fun theories!

**nina** · 05-20-2005 05:48 PM

But still I've taken like a thousand pictures with this camera, and I've NEVER had a picture come out blurry or extremely blown out like that one pic. Even when I've tried to make pics look blurred for effect (like moving cars), it still didn't work...came up with a crisp clear shot everytime.

And again...how can all that light come from an extremely dim lit room?

**Stalker** · 05-20-2005 07:18 PM

Because of the long exposure and wide aperture. That's also why it's so blurry. You thought you took a normal picture and moved the camera before it was done exposing.

[edit]
Why not continue with the other theories as well?

Because the EXIF data says all this stuff (long exposure, etc).

**Stalker** · 05-20-2005 08:58 PM

Yes, but that might not be the whole truth. Don't know about the light conditions in there but 1s, ISO-400 and F/2.8 isn't all that much.

**Kaniaz** · 05-21-2005 11:10 AM

But I wanted all the fun to be RUINED

grow up
