Strange photo

[Guest arabib]

It looks like whoever took the photo when smoking.

 

I usually smoke when I am on holidays so get a lot of pics like these =D

If you look closely, there's also a similar outline, only fainter, higher up the pic.

 

As you can see through it to the sky behind, I would hazard a quess that's it's vapour.......smoke from a ciggy, barbie?

 

Long exposures can throw up all kinds of "errors". The grain in the picture is just one example. I'm guessing that it was dead calm when you took the pic, 'cause the trees are pretty sharp, considering the long exposure. If it was dead calm, how come, if it is smoke, that it has it drifted across the full length of the pic? Or has it travelled a shorter distance, simply across the lens? ie it's pretty close to your camera, again, possibly indicating ciggie or barbie smoke, and even perhaps an insect flying past the lens? The insect would leave it's (solid) trail, but the long exposure would burn the sky through the trail to give the impression that it was not a solid object.

I wasnt smoking and we had not used the barbie for a couple of days.I suppose its possible the neighbours could have been.

Thanks for lookoing at the photo and making so many suggestions.
