While I was killing time between pics, I would slew the 'scope up, down, back and forth and do the theme from Jaws...doomp, doomp, doomp, doomp... I also noticed that none of locals walking by stopped to talk to me the whole time. Not sure if those things are related or not...

Absolutely. TA:s explanation is much better than any of my guesses.FBM wrote:I think TA is right on the money here. I can't imagine anything else other than some lens-mirror reflection event in the camera. I don't know of any memory effect in sensors, but I'm not an expert, either. I don't think you can do double-exposures with digital like you could with film. Again, I'm no expert...
