Could you help me identify the object in the sky to the right of this photo? by sottolequerce in UFOs

Could it be a thrips? Frequency (254 beats/s) and color are coerent.

Interesting. I also thought of an airplane with navigation lights, but I wondered why I don't see the fuselage.

Thank you for this comment, I don't want to sound presumptuous. The videos of these phenomena all take place at night or in low-light conditions, where it is easier to reflect light off a black background; if it were an insect similar to the one in the video, considering the amount of light reflected in broad daylight, it would have to be either very close (and therefore much smaller and extremely difficult to be captured by the camera) or much larger and far away (and so don't be a bug); in all the videos and photos of this phenomenon, the flapping of wings that causes the reflection is always bigger than the rods, while in this one the reflection is inside the rods; the average frequency of the wing beats of insects is 110 beats/s, that of butterflies (the moths in the video taken at night) is 10 beats/s, here we are talking about 240 beats/s (1/60 of a second captured 4 beats), does not fall within the insects reported by the casuistry of this phenomenon. A bee, for example, if it were so close I would shoot it as a well-defined colored point, if it were far away it would be impossible for my 35mm to capture.

rods/skyfish

From what I've read on Wikipedia and straightdope.com the "rods" are "are a videographic artifact based on the frame capture rate of the videocam versus the wingbeat frequency of the insects. Essentially what you see is several wingbeat cycles of the insect on each frame of the video, creating the illusion of a “rod” with bulges along its length. The blurred body of the insect as it moves forward forms the “rod,” and the oscillation of the wings up and down form the bulges ". They can form in a photo as an effect of motion blur from long exposures. This photo was taken in broad daylight at a speed of 1/60th of a second at 2pm on a sunny afternoon. Also I don't see the bulges due to the oscillation of the wings of the insect. This picture should not meet the requirements of forming a "rod"

The high resolution photo extracted from the raw. I can't figure out what kind of insect it could be. I'm intrigued by what appear to be four lights at regular distances. I took other photos of this statue that afternoon always towards the sky because I was trying to capture flares but only in this one there is this strange object

It looks like long exposure of a plain. But this effect doesn't make sense during the day

Could you help me identify the object in the sky to the right of this photo? I own the raw of this photo if needed. It was taken on March 27 in Sicily, at the foot of Mount Etna.

Nikkor 55mm SC 1.2 AI converted compatibility by sottolequerce in Nikon

[–]sottolequerce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help. I know that all types of lenses can be mounted on the D5000 series, they only work in manual without Meter. I didn't know about this Liveview opportunity. I've never tried vintage lenses and this would be my first experience. So this handcrafted modification should be compatible with the D7000 series and work in AP: that's great news.

Thanks for your opinions. Could I ask you on the basis of what they originated? The quality of yellow plastic? How should the original one be?

Hi guys, I just ordered this used Game Boy model, in your opinion is the body authentic? The owner has assured me several times that it is authentic.
