What went wrong and how?

Please can you help. Is this camera shake? (The ghosting on horizon) It looks like it, but........if it is, why is the foreground sharp? Tripod was used.

That is a weird effect. ( I kinda like it) However, did you set your camera up for tripod shooting rather than hand held?

Camera on a tripod.
Seeing the exposure time (1 second) I would think that during the later part of the exposure interval the camera shifted down hence creating the ghost in the light area, the blacks are affected but to a much lesser degree so invisible.

It looks like the camera moved down and to the left slightly during the exposure. It just happens to be most visible along the horizon, but you can see it on the surface of the water if you look carefully. The closer stuff would have been barely affected by it, and you would be seeing dark against dark.

Correction - up and to the right (same difference :-) ).

Thank you all for your help! I did forget to turn off VR!! Didn't think it made that much difference, now I know! Would the mirror locking up cause this much vibration??

i just noticed the exposure was 1 second.
I don't think this had anytging to do with mirror slap or slit movement.
How did you trip the shutter?

I am pretty sure I was using the remote shutter release, i had it on the camera for early morning shots, I don't think it I would have taken it off. I have another similar example taken at night.

If you draw a triangle look at the distance across the sides near the apex, tip, vs that far from the apex is significant. Far is a lot of distance vs the close up to the apex. Wow, just like the photo... a movement is not much close up, but far is a lot. Angle of movement is the same. This explains why distance is blurred and close does not show movement.

i was thinking he had a short exposure using a narrow moving slit in which case exposure can change drastically during the shot but the exposure was 1 second so this is more likely shake.

Thank you all for ideas and suggestions! I thought this would be user error as I am still learning ( do we ever stop ?) Somebody at my camera club suggested there may be a fault with the camera! Looks like I have some testing to do! I appreciate everybody's help, thank you, I love this group!

There may be some grass like object shaked between the centre of the lens and object while exposing in time exposure.
