Moon this evening

it’s on a sony cybershot. A shadowy spot in the same place in every photo. I don’t think it can be resolved. Seen in before on a previous verision.

there are 2 possibilities. one is a bit of dust on the lens which usually shows up as a sharp speck of some sort
The other a bit of condensation has got onto the sensor or the lens inside. If this is the case you could try this as I did with my Nikon D300

Get some silica Gel packets and put the camera and the gel packets in a plastic bag . Squeeze out as much of the air inside as possible and seal the bag up. the gel will eventually draw out any moisture in the camera. May take at least a month depending on how much moisture is in the camera and number of Gels used
I know this works because i had to do exactly the same thing on one of my cameras where the back screen misted over inside.

link may help to getting the gels

lot cheaper than sending camera away for fixing or replacing. Keep a Gel in the case with the camera is a good idea as well

The Wolf Moon - how lovely! Thank you, Besoeker.

We’ve got one here too!

sent you a message

Sorry realspeed, I’m not very familiar with this forum. Where are the messages?

it was a low full moon again this morning. Can you imagine how big that moon is wow, looks so close I could go for my holidays in a couple of hours lol

It’s a Leica isn’t it? I thought the Leica was expensive.

I’m a Moongazer and stand in awe as I look , I think off this amazing planet we live on and I think of the ancestors who would have stood in awe at the moon and wondered as I do . Like us trying to immagine the future world we cant , they would never have been able to immagine that we would have amazing flying machines moving us across the world or shooting machines of fire flying towards the beautiful planet up in the sky.

I love the Moon :two_hearts:

Thanks. It’s not the speck of dust. I will try the silica gel. They provide these packets in itsu seaweed thins. Seems a shame as otherwise a brilliant camera.

No it is a Panasonic compact camera costing About £365

This is the best I could get

Oddly the lens calls it a Leica…

That is who makes the lens for it for Panasonic not the camera itself. Same a Zeiss make for Sony cameras

Ah, OK.

I have a little story I would like to post if I may all about this subject

I was sitting outside watching the evening sky and marvelling how much the sky changed.
I sat there for some considerable time and it got darker, low and behold it started to get very dark and the sky look like being full of diamonds with the stars twinkling. As I sat there the moon appeared on the horizon and slowly wend its way across the heavens lighting up the ground. So as I sat there I thought to myself " it is about time I put a roof on this outside toilet"
