Moon reflection in camera lens

// May 19th, 2011 // No Comments » // General, Photos

Got this interesting result, taking a picture of the moon earlier tonight.

I didn’t realise that the moon would reflect in the camera lens, giving it an appearance that we may have two moons. It even looks like a sun and a moon.

Love the greenish glow of the reflection and the purple/pinkish tint in the actual moon.

The little blue dot in between the two is Pluto.

We recently had an opportunity to go on a tour of the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. This stadium will be hosting the opening and closing matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Football tournament in June-July 2010. It’s an amazing venue.

I can never figure out this cat. Why is it that he prefers the basket with our dirty rags over his proper sleeping basket?

I think he’s playing mind games with us.
