Hey,
On a recent caving trip, with my point and shoot sony cybershot camera, I thought I was taking nice clear photos but when I checked them on my PC, all cave formations and walls were blurred and looked like someone painted them by hand. I attached a couple photos. It was a very dry and warm cave in southern china and with very little moisture in the air it seemed the flash was working well. In addition, I used a chinese headlamp that I purchased to try and light the backgrounds better. This is what I think caused the problem. The 3W led headlamp has some interesting focusing lens on it and I set it to as wide as it would allow. Great, wide light, but I think somehow this screwed up the photos. Maybe something to do with not being in the far field of the focused light?
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Its not what I was hoping for but certainly came out interesting.
