Post by: Terry Green on February 10, 2006, 02:26:00 PM
What causes this, and what's the term used to describe this 'trick photography'?

Tri-Sun Morning.......

Multiple exposures on one piece of film?

I don't know how it happened.  Cannon PowerShot S70 - 7.1 mega pixel.

Took it in my driveway......no windshield only air between the camera and sun, and had the camera on a 2 second delay so I could hold it steady with it zoomed all the way out.

What was the shutter speed?  Did you bump it while the shutter was open?

Nope, didn't bump it....I think the whole pic would be blured if I would have.  Everything looks like I held it pretty darn still with the zoom all the way out.

Default shutter speed, nothing fancey....I don't know fancey, well, yeah I do, I'm having dinner with her tonight   :D  

Anyhow, I just got the camera out of my truck, opened it up, and took the pic....don't think there was any dew on it cause I looked at the lense when I zoomed in on the back screen and saw what I ended up with.

No clouds on the bottom sun, clouds coming in on the top two suns from 3:00 into the center.

Kind of reminds me of a cherry and grape jello mold with those layers in there.

Isn't that just the light buncing around inside the lens?

I think Dave has it.
Now go to a doctor and get rid of it!

Terry, I rarely click on a thread for experts. I aren't one in ANY field, so I am automatically disqualified.

That fact that you have a repeating image of the two top sun images that don't match the bottom image is what stumps me.  And I think that also rules out the water drop on the lens theory.

So, Mr T, are you going to disclose what happened and how the image was made?

Oh, he's gonna plead innocent, like he don't know nuffin', just to keep us going.

I think the real sun is the bottom, then it got bounced up into the clouds for the next higher one, which got bounced yet again, carrying the cloud-image into the third (highest) one. The cloud-images on suns two and three match. Is that third one bigger than the primary subject? (The sun at the bottom.)I think so. Terry also says that his lens was at full telephoto.

Killdeer~now I gotta take a lens apart to see how all that can happen. Terry, you wanna send me your camera for "analysis"?  :bigsmyl:

Another possibility here for explaining the clouds could be that the digital camera, and its inherent tendency to wash out a light source, (see the other thread here) did just that on the first sun. The second, being not so bright (see self-portrait elsewhere) was able to portray the detail that was washed out (the clouds) and thus carried it onward. Terry, are there three sections to that lens as it extends?

Killdeer~skritch, skritch! (we need a head-skritching gremlin, or a good flea-ridden dog!)

Guys and Gals......I don't know how it happened, I really don't.

But I think Dave is probably right.

Interesting how the top two do seem to be the same image.

This is easy ... Terry was on planet Jupitor when he snapped the image of 3 of Jupitor's 62 moons that appear as if they're suns!  

That's the only valid explanation.  Period.  

Well, there is this "theory" of fractal internal/external lens reflection ... nah, couldn't be, could it?  I vote for the Jupitor explanation!   :D

BTW......I took 3 pics, one right after another.......the 1st one had a single sun, and the next two had three.
