A photography question

I got a digital camera awhile ago.  The other night I was out at the beach experimenting with it.  I took this shot ( http://goodmorphing.wincustomize.com/photos.aspx?a=1&p=18&view=full ) which at first glance seemed like the moon.  But the moon is not in full phase now.  I enlarged that section and whatever it is seems to have something orbiting it.  Also, it is a very 'happy faced' moon.  I know from working with film I can kink the film as I wind it, or leave a bubble, or drop some dust during the development process.. but can a digital camera produce some artifact?

It was starting to rain a little, Lantec.  I guess I should carry around a lens cloth or something.

wonder how much they would be willing to pay to cover up the extra terrestrial littering fee?


Upon closer inspection, it seems they have an adequate dumpster....think the money to be made there is in the collection fees

Okay,three guesses for this:
a. Unexplained digital camera error or artifact.
b. Exstraterrestrial intervension.
c. Your camera got crazy and zoomed in to night sky till planet Uranus!

Are you playing with our minds GoodMorphing?

Cause this looks as if someone just put that in the picture. An artificial add-on,maybe with Photoshop. If not then is a very paradox phenomenon. The light symmetry and distancing does not agree with the rest of the objects in the picture. Unless it's a moving target (e.g. a helicopter or plane and camera didn't focus on it,thus blurred the light emitted.)

Well from my point of view that is all.

Nope.  That is really what was there.  But I have been out at that beach a lot more nights in the early evenings.  I'm thinking maybe it could be a low plane coming in, and its light shining through a cloud.  I know it looks like a face, that was why I hesitated to ask. 

The reason I was bouncing this thread up was because I found this tripod that seems interesting  to me.  I like it because it is so small, and can be strapped onto a tree or sign or whatnot.  I think I will get one when I can find one over here.  http://www.spartanphotocenter.com/Ultra_pod.htm
