Original news
Late April 1994, day – MS Lofoten This photo was shot from the deck of the merchant ship Lofoten. It goes on a regular cruise from Bergen to Kirkenes (six days) and back to Bergen again (five days), with several stops along the way. It is impossible for us to know exactly where the ship was, specially with an imprecise date. The photo shows a strange phenomenon, not seen at the time, looking a little “rocket”-like. We had the negative investigated, and it was soon obvious that there was a flaw on the film itself.
Hypotheses
Defects in old photos
There are a number of defects specific to film images. They are connected with the peculiarities of the film and principle photo.
The film in essence is a strip of transparent synthetic plastic, supported on her a photosensitive layer of chemical substances that can alter its transparency or properties under the action of light.
Re-reflections in lens lenses from a strong light source
The lens consists of a set of lenses (in some lenses - of mirrors), designed for mutual compensation of aberrations and assembled into a single system.
From the contour light (bright light sources behind the subject or next to it), caught in the frame or located outside the frame, parasitic reflections from the internal elements of the lens are formed, called glare (or in slang "hares").
Investigation
The object appearance more characteristic of a highlight than to defect in the film.
