Weird Weather + Photography in Motion = My Picture Day Phenomenon
Beam me up, Scotty
is not what you see happening here.
Stairway to heaven?
Nope, it is a beam, of sorts, but not a beam of light. Not a ladder. See if you can figure out what it is.
Black sky in the north,
clear blue and sunny in the south as we drove away from the storm brewing over the farm where my parents still live.
At 70 miles per hour,
looking out the passenger-side window, I aimed my phone camera at the turbulent sky to the west. Our son is driving, eyes focused on the road, lest anyone suspect me of driving while storm chasing. ;-)
A solid part of the landscape
showed up as a mysterious beam in the photos. Soon, I will tell you what it was, but I'm curious to see how many people can guess what we are looking at. It makes no sense to me that the image turned out like this. Trick photography? No. Just something weird that happened while shooting photos from a moving vehicle.
I'm not finding a lot of information online on HOW this thing happened. There's this:
photography in motion (pictures taken from a car or other moving | Flickr
This group is all about the random snap shots you can get from your car (hopefully not while YOU are driving) while it is moving. If you haven't tried this you'll find that it is a lot of fun and you get some unique and interesting shots.
The answer is online, I know, but if this is the best explanation, I will (for once!) be ok with not knowing:
So, who among us can explain why a solid object turned transparent and no longer stationary in these photos? It kinda makes me see why primitive people were scared of cameras. :)
Can you guess what the mystery beam is?
Scroll down....
"Rolling Shutter" artifact
....not every portion of the image starts and stops receiving light at the same time. The process is commonly referred to as a “rolling shutter” since exposures typically move as a wave from one side of the image to the other. Both film and digital work this way. With a rotary shutter, this happens as each edge of the disc’s opening sweeps across the sensor.
This is some terrible weather. Glad your ok.
It looks to me like one of those big blowers blowing air into a fabric tube to get attention, but as I'm not guessing the farm gets that kind of traffic, I really don't know.
Though I'll probably kick myself when you tell me. ;-)
The picture of the scenes shows a beautiful view of photography. The picture that can be painted with color of human imagination seems to be more natural. The painting is no longer in color and color. Photography is also limited to camera frames. Like technology and rich imagination of human imagination.
I would never guess what that beam was. My first thought was kind of reflection.
Amazing what it really was.
Wait, was it a power line? I don't see it D: I love when photos do that though.
A power line, a stairway to heaven - I'm going with Stairway!
