Advertisement Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Hi Guest hagen, Take a look here Another failure - M8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ho_co Posted January 23, 2007 Share #22 Â Posted January 23, 2007 Sean--good idea! Â It does resemble the messages we earthlings attatched to the Voyager before sending it off into interstellar space--some elements analog, some digital, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted January 23, 2007 Share #23 Â Posted January 23, 2007 Maybe we should not have this one fixed. Certainly a collectors edition. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_b_elmer Posted January 23, 2007 Share #24 Â Posted January 23, 2007 I notice that the glass of the picture under the downlight has purple reflections and just wonder whether you used any sort of filter in thisw shot. Can a double exposure be ruled out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted January 23, 2007 Share #25  Posted January 23, 2007 I was thinking that someone might want that specific camera just so it will show those patterns. Also, perhaps the failure here is not so much the camera but more our inability to decode what the spacemen are trying to tell us in these pictures. Where's Duchamp when we need him? Cheers,  Sean  Quite beautiful, I agree - but only if it's someone else's camera!  It couldn't be your raw processor could it Freddy (looks like something some programs did with Olympus cameras).  best wishes to all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry Posted January 23, 2007 Share #26 Â Posted January 23, 2007 There might be something to Sean's point about spacemen. The first animal sent into space by the Russians was a dog named Leica (actually Laika), I believe in 1957. Maybe she's trying to communicate something to us from the big bow-wow beyond.

wattsy Posted January 23, 2007 Share #27 Â Posted January 23, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Andy Piper found a vaguely similar issue (at least the 'maze-like' pattern part of the problem) when he played with an M8 back in November. I think he put it down to bugs in the RAW conversion - Bayer 'artefacts' or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blado Posted January 23, 2007 Share #29  Posted January 23, 2007 Those are pretty crazy patterns! There was one of those in a pre-release photo (a landscape shot) that I think was being interpreted as moiré. And in only one small area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 23, 2007 Share #30 Â Posted January 23, 2007 I think some little shiny chip was left in the camera somewhere near the path of light.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spersky Posted January 24, 2007 Share #31 Â Posted January 24, 2007 Yeah sure, Â But look at the resolving power of the artifacts. It is almost like a microscopic view of the silicon chip inside. Seriously, that is a horrible problem and I am sorry to hear that. You will have likely have to send you camera back to Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted January 24, 2007 Share #32  Posted January 24, 2007 Visually, this is probably my favorite of the quirks so far. <G> It's either surrealism or a message from space men. Cheers,  Sean  Ive got my foil hat on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted January 24, 2007 Share #33 Â Posted January 24, 2007 Of course Freddy's camera needs to be repaired or replaced but with all the M8 teething pains we early adopters must roll with, it's nice to be able to step back and laugh a little. Someone is going to buy this "broken" M8 and make a series of pictures that will command astronomical prices in a gallery somewhere in Chelsea (NYC). And even then we'll still have no idea what "Leica" the space dog and the space men are trying to tell us. Â Cheers, Â Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guy_mancuso Posted January 24, 2007 Share #35 Â Posted January 24, 2007 I'm trying to figure what will happen to my M8 on Thursday. i have to go get fitted for a gas mask and outfit for a shoot on Thursday at a copper mine and shoot the working enviroment with the use of Mercury in the work area. Now will i have a glowing M8 when i leave the place or will my sensor swell to radiation levels and create spectral responses like Freddy is getting. I may have the first radiated polluted M8 on the planet. Any takers on the return of this shoot , starting price 10k. ROTFLMAO Â Seriously though i do hope Freddy's camera is replaced or repaired very soon here ,this certainly is not what should be going on with it.

annedi Posted January 24, 2007 Share #36 Â Posted January 24, 2007 is this some kind of wave interference pattern??? fluorescent light banging up against some aspect of the sensor's processing algorithms??? not sure how to word this -- any available physicists please step in here.......

Bill Sievers Posted January 24, 2007 Share #38 Â Posted January 24, 2007 Very interesting effect. I hope I never replicate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carstenw Posted January 24, 2007 Share #39 Â Posted January 24, 2007 Honestly, apart from the regular rectangular aspect of it, the pattern looks like bad raw processing of moire. Have you tried switching raw developer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
annedi Posted January 24, 2007 Share #40  Posted January 24, 2007 Carsten's got it !! From Tutorials - Digital Camera Sensors  "Images with small-scale detail near the resolution limit of the digital sensor can sometimes trick the demosaicing algorithm -- producing an unrealistic looking result. The most common artifact is moire, which may appear as repeating patterns, color artifacts or pixels arranged in an unrealistic maze-like pattern." ....... "These artifacts depend on both the type of texture and software used to develop the digital camera's RAW file."  Well, darn it, an explanation -- I was enjoying wearing my Tin Foil Hat.  See also: DPanswer: Defects Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
