Full Description & Details
Attached photograph was taken just over a couple of weeks ago in the Sooke area of Vancouver Island. It was taken by me using a Nikon Coolpix 5700. I saw nothing in the sky when I took it, in fact it only came to light when I uploaded the photographs to my laptop later in the day. It was one of a group of photographs I took within a five or so minute period (almost a panorama of the Becher bay area) It appears in none of the other photographs. My wife and kids were with me at the time. They saw nothing either. It was the middle of the day. I thought it could be a bug on the lens but it somehow appears to have a sort of depth of field, and focus is in line with surrounding trees, clouds etc. It is not a bird, even at this quality of image this camera can pick out a seagull at 400 ft!

I have only had the camera a month but as we spent the month on holiday in BC I shot around 700 pictures no other photo displays anything like this so I am guessing it is not a lens fault. I don't knoe if you have any special equipment for sharpening images but would be interested in what you think? I have all the other shots taken either side of this one. If it is not a bug, it is definitely not a plane or helicopter. This has to be one of the most tranquil places on the planet aside from the odd floatplane.

Look forward to hearing from you when you have a chance to look at it. (I am sending this to you as I ran a search on the net and read with interest the case of

the Kelsey Bay picture.)
