When the "Current Affair Norway House" tape was released everyone was disappointed. Myself included. It was hyped as a "film of bigfoot". People demanded to see it! But, all you can see is a pixelated and blurry something walking just in front of the trees on a sandbar.
Most people dismissed it as another hoax and left it. Why is that? Because the person filming was across a river and zooming in to 300X pixelated the video so badly no-one could tell what it was. It looked OK to him on his camcorder, but it looks terrible when veiwed on a TV screen or computer monitor. If he han't have zoomed in, all you would be able to see is a dark shape, which is just as bad. Rumour says the original tape is "lost" but I don't believe it.
Bottom line is: You are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. If he zooms in, the picture is blurry. If he didn't, you can't tell what's there anyway. The camera doesn't record what the eye sees. How many photos have been taken when someone thinks "WOW this is great!" and you watch it or look at developed photos and wonder where the "great" went? I know it's happened to me a few times.
Below is a picture of my buddy the blue jay that visits me every year. It's taken with a Kodak Easyshare C530. 5 Megapixels. The picture is taken from about 25 feet away, but zoomed in to make the image larger. Great camera, bad picture. Now imagine it was a rabbit or squirrel or fawn and the colors closer to the color of the tree. What would be seen? |
