Figure onboard a Canadian Frigate

[Darren]

The story behind the photograph:
This photo was sent to me by my brother. It was taken on his military warship by the ships high resolution, I\'m going to call it their high tech spy camera cause I don\'t know the name and type of the expensive camera he was using. Here is a hosted image of it and I can send the original copy I received directly from him. I want to get a professional/experienced photographer view and from someone who might have the technology to have a real look at the photo.

The weather was bad that night, as you can see from the sea, and being so all crew outside are required to wear proper rough weather gear. There would also be sea spray breaking over the ship that night. The suits are black with orange reflective strips on the back, front and arms. The two glowing lights to the left are his comrade who was outside with him. He was on the deck end and the glow is the camera flash reflecting off his jackets reflectors. My brother and his comrade were the only ones on deck that night as it was their shift.

We will be producing a report on this image and will post a link in this thread. Feel free to give your thoughts on the photograph. For guests please register to comment or to view more on this forum!

sorry to be vague.. but are we looking at the man holding what looks like a box or the figure standing next to him on the right hand side?? ( it would be his left but our right)

[Darren]

Both ... as the report states the man holding the box apparently shouldn't have been there - but there is reason to doubt this - and the shadow to the photographers right.

ohh.. the guy holding the box looks like classic double exposure lol. I just dont think the guy holding the box is anything paranormal. It looks modern, like they guy is standing right there, he is almost not even transparent also.. the other shadow.. what can i say, its a blob, i guess it looses its authenticity as the other figure looks abit fake.

The report (link above) explains the photo and provides a photographic explanation for everything appearing in the picture. The picture certainly isn't fake and represents what appeared in front of the lens at the time. The degree of transparency can probably be best seen by looking at the yellow strip and seeing how solid his feet appear but everything above allows the background through. The term split exposure has been used to explain the transparent effect of the person holding the box as the shutter only opened once to expose the CCD.
