Now that I'm seeing this photo on this site, I'm not seeing the segmented whiskers so clearly but the segmentation is very clear and noticeable in the original. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please tell me why my cat's whiskers appear to be segmented in this photo? I am trying to find out why this happens and if there is any way to keep it from happening. I'm using my Fuji Finepix S9000 digital camera in natural light.

I am an amateur photographer with a basic knowledge of photography. I recently bought a FujiFinepixS9000 digital and am still familiarizing myself with it. In July I attended my nephew's wedding and was very disappointed in the shots taken in the church as most of them came out blurry. This was a very low light situation and I was shooting in automatic. As the bridal party came down the aisle, I was shooting from the pew and most pictures came out very blurry. I wasn't using a flash because I don't care for flash pictures. I can't tell you exactly what other settings I was using at the time but can someone please give me advice on how to photograph movement in a low light situation like that? Should I have used the flash? Should the camera be set on continuous focus? Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. :cry:

Why are people telling this poor guy how to shoot 'real' ghosts when all he wants is to create ghost like images??
