Sensor "failure" images
My 4 year old p&s digital camera began to exhibit signs of sensor failure a couple months ago. The preview picture on the LCD began moving and wavering like a TV going on the blink. I could record the images although it was like making a close-up picture of water on a moving river - the image field distortions kept changing and what I recorded was not precisely what I saw when pushing the shutter. Typically there is a strong magenta cast, which I have reduced with software for these images. Unfortunately, the camera sensor completely died several weeks after it started doing all this. I am pretty excited about the image quality and made as many as I could when it was happening:
leaves and shrubs
up through trees
leaf close-up
self portrait

Too bad you had to have the camera fixed, finally, Arthur; each one of these "failed" pix looks fantastical! And, very glad you got to share them with an audience. I loved the self-portrait.
Very cool.
Those are some interesting effects. Art through failure! :-)
Never say die! I would've done the same thing, though I hope I don't have to anytime soon.
My faves here are your trees (the sky shining through looking like stalactites) and your self-portrait. What an unusually interesting malfunction! You made good use of it. :)
Well, now I finally understand what happened with my camera. It's not creating images resembling paintings by Francis Bacon.
