Hi...checked the properties on the picture and found little to help. Width pixels, 640. Height pixels 480. horizontal resolution 96 dpi, vertical resolution 96 dpi. Bit depth 24; ergo, blurry, less-than-crystal-clear quality!
I have the camera sitting right beside my computer, no manual. There is a Picture Perfect button and a Program button. It has a 10x optical zoom. I would have been using whatever default setting it had. Maybe one of you can find the "manual" online.

Question: Is there still debate as to whether I took the picture? Instead of trying to duplicate it to prove one way or the other, just accept the fact that I did take the picture, it wasn't messed with, and that not even the best photographer could probably duplicate it with with the same equipment. It was an exceedingly lucky picture.

It's very frustrating to me to know I did it and realize that people who have the time, energy and ability to work on the overall project can't get past their disbelief in the image and use it as the tool it could be.

A more serious issue, and one that makes me doubt everything but my picture, are other eyewitness reports from people aboard the same ferry. Think about it--how would you react if you remember an event and people ten, fifteen, twenty feet away remember the same event totally different. There has got to be a major clue or meaning to that.

Take this quote that Michael Hezarkhani's friend "Pejman Hamadia" sent to Jeff;

"Just as it was about to pass over the ferry boat carrying the guy that took the film, his wife and about 45 other passengers, it pulled straight up into a steep climb then dropped its nose and picked up speed as it went into the building. The passengers actually ducked thinking the plane was about to clip them just as it was about to climb straight up for a few seconds."

This was a surprise to me and I was on the same ferry, maybe twenty feet away from Michael. Have any of you had a BIG plane fly that low over your head? Well, I have. A stealth bomber. We were driving our car at the end of the runway as it approached for touch-and-go practice. Not a sound. Blocked out the sun and seemed to take an eternity to pass over us. All of the cars were traveling slowly to begin with, as F16s had been flying and we were watching them swoop down and back up, but we didn’t know the stealth was approaching. It almost invisibly appeared from our right and passed directly over our heads, low, slow and quiet. It seemed to mash us into the ground, so large it was as if it barely moved. Just past us, it started to climb. It’s previous sound reached us, and seconds later we heard and felt those jet engines kick in and blast it into a powerfully fast and sharp climb. An awesome experience. I’m sure a 767 at 200 ft would be difficult to miss, or feel or hear. I’m sure I was very involved in taking the picture of the plane I was watching and simply missed the one that nearly hit me in the head. The couple sitting to my left, the person to my right didn’t jump up and accidently bump into me or walk past me…my legs were blocking the walkway like a gate while I was lining up the shot and watching the plane.

Work on that little mystery for me.

The original discs are locked up offsight. I don't have a computer to accept them if i had them. The camera doesn't operate now. i appreciate your concern for wanting details of picture properties. If I can get the info, I will. Don't think there is much I can say or do that put your mind to rest as to the authenticity of my images. I took them from the ferry and they are not manipulated.

I think it's cool that a few dummies think your a "perp". Makes for good reading.

There are a group of people (i'm sure you know of them) who think that every pic, and every video is fake,,,and that all the named sources, are involved in 9/11, and are part of a cover up, to mis-direct a few thousand people, on a planet of what??? 8 billion?

Being lied about, in this fashion, would drive me insane,,,,you seem to handle it very well........

Is this a reference to anything else other than what Hezerkani's friend said?
Maybe I need to go through the thread again ...
Do you have accounts of other people on the ferry/near that contradict your memory of the event?

Thanks

No.
I don't think i need to post another picture of Carmen. Do a google search for Carmen Taylor Sony Mavica. You will see the (already famous) shot of Carmen holding her camera.

Quick responses:

Thepye: Thanks. My husband occasionally says I'm insane.

Elephant: Right now, i'm taking Michael's friend's quote as a correct quote, based on the witnesses' memory. There are other eye-witnesses who describe, as did the NIST's report, that the plane did its final approach from a southward direction up the Hudson. There are threads on this site which can will give us names and I'm getting more in the mood to contact a few of these people. I think there is something important in "memories" and I'm not ready to blanket their observations as mass hysteria orconfusion, or as false statements well-planned by professional secret agents. This looks like a hole, so I'm going to keep digging.

Room101: Your picture appears to be a newer version of the same camera. Where the example shows 2200, mine reads 2000. Also, on the front, my camera reads DIGITAL STILL CAMERA MVC-FD73. If I'm reading the print correctly on your example, it is an F75. My camera was 1-3 years old on 9/11.

Back later. tgc C

Robert Clark was. You can tell from the way the background has shifted between his two shots of the plane.

That's not tracking and you know what I mean by tracking; like in the F1 picture, if it is possible to follow the plane and get a sharp picture that's fine by me, than just say that! (I don't know anything about photography, only thing that I picked up was that when photographing a moving object it gets blurred OR the surroundings get blurred because you physically follow the object with your camera)

I never stated that, I said I find it hard to believe that this is possible. Now I'll shut up about it because I got it from the photographer herself:

Gees, you guys are up tight around here, have a little patience with a lame duck like me! LOL

So we kind of reached a point where video/photo fakery is completely debunked?
What's next? Hop back on the AJ bandwagon? Not me, I can't stand the turd!

That wasn't directed at you......i was referring to the forum at 9/11 movement.

Sorry for mix-up.

No problem thepye! but for a newcomer here it's sometimes like you've been dropped in a snake-pit! LOL
I do like this forum a lot though; gives me a lot to think about and directions on how to conduct 'research', although I'm not patient enough for that it seems. I get my ass whooped over here, must be really careful what to post: I call it good brain gymnastics! (and me being Dutch and all doesn't really helps amongst all these language wizards; respect to RasgaSaias he's Portuguese but seems to be a native speaker!)

So what IS next? Seems like the whole thing has been debunked (?)
Still remains a very important question: WTF happened on 9/11?
