Accidentally Taking Pictures Through Clothing?

Vautrin · Dec 6, 2008

So odd question here.

I took a number of picture with my olympus evolt 510 with the intention of stitching them together for a pano. I stitched them together, and one of my friends noticed a random woman in the pictures had her nipples clearly visible through the clothing. And I'm not just talking about seeing the outline, I'm talking about really seeing them.

It's not like she had holes there because she was wearing BOTH a sweater and a shirt.

What caused my camera to have seeming xray vision? Is this a fluke thing? Has anyone ever had this happen before?

Thanks,

Dan

This has to be THE most rediculous thread I've ever read since I came here.

You must be a hit at parties.

I am the life of the party, always... however, I do not come to Beyond the Basics to party... I come here to learn PHOTOGRAPHY.

Want to party, use the appropriate forum for it... please.

Jerry's party-pooping aside, it was almost certainly a result of your flash. Party goers wouldn't have noticed this in ambient light. But the tabloids and celeb web sites regularly feature photos of celeb nipples that have been revealed from camera flash passing light through a dress and reflecting back out again.

I'm not sure if I can post links to examples here without having a moderator smite me so I'll err on the side of caution. Without even trying, examples came up quickly for Jessica Simpson and Uma Thurman in Google.

How about this one? Do you think she saw THAT in the mirror.. I think it's a good question. Nothing you can do about it-they're already out wearing what they're wearing, so I guess the only thing left to do is appreciate it...

Ban for what? There is nothing offensive even for 10 year old kis. you can see this every day on the street.

Pff, nowadays everyone seems to overreact... :lol:

Must be hard when you know everything.

In any case, it is the flash that did it. If you visit the Celebrity Gossip websites, you'll see tons of photos of celebs getting "caught" because they wore shear garments, and the cameras flash is able to illuminate the already thing clothing.
