Look for crop circles nearby. It's clearly the edge of a UFO outlined by its landing lights caught in a rare moment when the craft abandoned its cloaking for a split second, which is common in freezing weather.

Ah, electronics! A guess here - Since the second picture has some of the dark house, the camera read a darker scene and gave it more exposure. As for the line down the center, separating light and dark, I don't have a clue.
Figures. Canon is really another name for free-loader homeless folks (and these are know to refuse work when offered)... :shock: :mrgreen: :XD: :hunf: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It looks to me as though the sun managed to break through the cloud cover just enough to be unnoticed by the naked eye but recorded by the machine. The line might just be the resultant shadow from the roofline.
What do I say? I guess I'm just more of a purist, and like the natural look, rather than heavily or obviously post-processed. I hate it when you can see the join or other attributes of modification! Plus, I don't always think that full frame or more megapixels increases the quality of experience.
I guess its just a personal thing!
Don't like post processed---then you will hate the recent Sports Illustrated cover shot of Serena Williams. I'll say no more.
Carried the camera around with me yesterday afternoon while walking around the neighborhood. My wife slipped in the snow and I had to take a picture when I realized she was laughing.
The difference in exposure in the 2nd image is not the result of flash as there was none and mine is actually taped down since it no longer stays latched.
You were holding the camera longwise vertical, right? The shutter got momentarily stuck in travel causing increased exposure to half the frame.
An exposure difference would not split vertically down the center of the image. It would effect it globally.
A shutter lag is the most likely culprit. Call the manuf. service dept.
I believe the Copal shutter does travel vertically in the D5100. Or horizontally in the portrait orientation. I'm puzzled by the little jag in the center.
It looks overcast, doubt if it could be a shadow line.

But the angle of the separation line is perpendicular to the out of scene roof line.
