Camera error when shooting a sunset?
Can someone tell me what happen here? Did the pixels on the sensor become too hot?
Answers: I believe this is sensor bloom rather than a problem beside the lens. It's a function of cameras that have a CCD sensor, such as your Nikon D50. Canon's SLRs use a different sensor design, CMOS, which isn't as susceptible to this effect. The best explanation I hold read for CCD blooming was written by astronomer Phil Plait, who experienced it frequently when looking through imagery taken with digital sensors contained by the Hubble space telescope, and other satellites. I have included his description as a source. He be writing about the CCD sensor contained by NASA's SOHO solar observer, which be subject to cosmic rays that overwhelmed the sensor. A lot of people assumed that the resulting imitation artefacts were alien spaceships.
Essentially, when one of the CCD's pixels is overwhelmed beside light, the charge overflows into the subsequent pixel along, and so forth, until the charge passes beneath the threshold of the pixel's skill to hold it. I assume the pattern within the photograph, is a consequence of Nikon's CCD design, and the purple colour is a case of extreme purple fringing.
As the previous male points out, it would be a good theory to take a few more pictures to check that the sensor is okay.
It looks resembling some kind of lens "bloom". Lens flare is other a possibility when shooting into the sun or near it.
Just shoot some other shots and if nearby is a "ghost" of the sun in them adjectives then near has be some damage to the sensor, but unless you have the camera aimed at the sun for a long time, that is not the problem.
I nature of like it. No one else have one like that. I want I could help. step to howstuffworks.com and you might find out the answer.
