Capture A UFO Image On Camera
-
1
Have your camera attached to the tripod or resting on something sturdy. Night shots work best if the sky is clear and moonlit, but if your UFO produces light it should be enough, if there is no fog.
-
2
Use the manufacturer's nighttime mode or put it on manual. Use highly sensitive film for low light.
-
-
3
Set your focus on infinity, if you are managing your settings manually.
-
4
Have the automatic shutter release ready to snap the shot.
-
5
Keep watch. This is the hardest part, because you will only have a second or 2 to capture a great image. Keep scanning the sky with either the viewfinder or the naked eye.
-
6
Put the ISO setting between 100 and 400, if applicable, on your camera.
-
7
When your UFO appears, center it into full view in the viewfinder. If it is moving, the effect may be a streak, but it will be a clear picture.
-
8
Release the shutter. Change the camera angle and do it again. Get as many pictures as you can.
-
9
If your camera has the capability to capture a panoramic image (a series of shots combined to make one wide shot), use this feature to give you an impressive result.
-
10
Invite friends to help you. Since you cannot predict when a UFO will appear, it is a good idea to have several cameras and photographers ready, so that you can get at least one good picture.
-
11
Arrange the pictures in a series to show movement, scintillation or rotation of the UFO.

Tips & Warnings
Good shots cannot be taken quickly. You must use a long exposure. It would be best to have the camera ready at a site where UFO's have been seen before.
The best film to use for nighttime shots with a 35mm camera is 1600 speed film. Unfortunately, it is expensive, so try 800 speed film, which will probably work almost as well. Any lower speed is not recommended.
Do not touch the camera, as it must be kept steady at all times for a clear shot.
Do not alter the picture with PhotoShop. Even the slightest alteration can make it appear fake.
