I think it's an insect due to the shape, but nevertheless I commend you for doing what you do.

ok Cyrax your claiming its the full resolution picture, yet the Kodak Z7590 is a 5 MegaPixel camera.. i know for a fact that my 2 MegaPixel camera phone takes pictures of a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels.. and yet the picture you linked are only 951 x 772 pixels.

Im not saying you have faked someting here.. since you can't even tell what it really is.. but your clearly not showing a full resolution picture. As to what it is.. i would guess some kind of bug.

I think it's a bug, but also greatly appreciate your sharing this photograph with us.
Personally, I never mind if a photo doesn't turn out to be an extraterrestrial craft -- unless it's presented as being one.
After all, I only need to see one picture of a real extraterrestrial craft to make the rest all worth while, and when in doubt, I think members should never be reluctant to share such photos. :shk:
We can't see if we don't look.
thank you for the kind words

edit: ok, it seems that it was a huge amount of balloons over Madrid. Anyway, at least it was possible to come up with some information to debunk the UFO version of that story. On the contrary, the destiny of pictures as the one discussed here is already known - nothing will be confirmed.

I feel very disappointed by the "justice" applied here, on ATS.
After spending a reasonable amount of time trying to understand the comments made by admins and mods, I'm still unable to come up with any logical explanation on what grounds were most of the first page replies deleted (including 2 of mine).

CYRAX, I looked up "solar obliteration" and gave it a try. I have 9 photos saved "as-is" right out of the camera. Most of the photos show white circular looking things, one photo shows a saucer shape. I'm not posting them because they are as inconclusive as yours are.
I want to thank you for bringing this technique to my attention and I'll keep trying like you are. If I ever get any "great" pics, then I'll post them.
Thanks again

The histogram shows strong filtering. Probably done in the camera itself. You may have sharpening set on high or noise filtering set on high. As to the size it would depend on your camera setting when you took the shot. My guess is the filtering was Gaussian or Bicubic which more or less averages between pixels. I think that’s the most common algorithm used in camera internal filtering. The result of filtering this high is that it removes a lot of detail. Whenever you filter you loose detail. All I can say is it is symmetrical on one axis and there is not enough data to draw a conclusion.
I’m not familiar with that camera. If it has the option to shoot in raw you should always do so. If you want someone to try to enhance it; it is important to have the original file. You should turn off all filtering and leave the processing to be done after the fact. Every time you save a .jpg it is compressed. You should save it from the camera in a bitmap file like a .bmp or a .tif file and provide a link for downloading. If raw is an option anyone qualified to review the photo can open and process it. Often people will set the size so they can fit more pictures on the storage media but in this case you want the best quality the camera is capable of shooting. A 5.1 megapixel usually nets a file size of about 2560 x 1920 at its highest quality setting which would give twice the data as your provided image. Your camera may not have a raw file mode but it may have the option of a .tif file which does not compress the image. If only .jpg is available at least use the highest setting and turn off the filtering.
Keep shooting
