What happened?

Can someone tell me what happened here? I took a picture of the moon using flash (just experimenting). This is what I got. I checked the properties after downloading and noticed the metering was listed as pattern. What did I do to get this? Sorry it has motion blur. It was handheld.

Were you shooting through a window?
What did you expect the flash to do for the photo?
If you shot through the window, the flash would have been reflected right back into the lens causing massive flare.
Reminds me of partial solarisation.
"Solarisation (or solarization) is a phenomenon in photography in which the image recorded on a negative or on a photographic print is wholly or partially reversed in tone. Dark areas appear light or light areas appear dark."
Nikon D7100
1/60th ISO 1600
300mm @ 6.3

I was not shooting through a window. I was outside. As to what I expected the flash to do, nothing - just curious.

What camera. This looks to be some sort of "art" filter.

I've never seen anything like this before and I've been to two worlds fairs and a ..... thats a story for another time and place :XD: Were you using a cheese cloth to diffuse your flash?

Using the Inverse Square Law your flash will never lighten up the dark side of the moon, even if you listen to Pink Floyd's album.
Ballpark exposure for the moon in that phase is going to be:
ISO 200, Aperture f/11, Shutter Speed 1/250 + or -
...and no flash.

No, I didn't use anything over the flash. I used the on camera flash.

Not sure where you are, but Evansville is almost always humid, in my experience.
Maybe the flash illuminated the water droplets in the air causing them to brighten.
That, combined with the gross overexposure got the effect you see?
Can I call a friend?

It is greatly over exposed and we are surely looking at a huge crop.

Goofy you have given away your age by referring to Pink Floyds "album" ( also by referring to Pink Floyd in the first place). So I'll give away mine, what if we played it backwards and at 45 rpm? That changes everything, now we have a shot at tweeting the light even on the dark side.

HA!!!
Still won't overcome physics, but it could be fun.
Paul McCartney is still alive, BTW.
:lol: :wink:
Hey, I lived in Rome...NY.

Sure, call a friend. I was in Wadesville Indiana (near Evansville) when I took this shot.

Did you try it without the flash?? I think the humidity, as mentioned above, may be the problem.
