On the recent canoe image:

Notice the area just left of center? My guess is a smudge on the lens is causing the loss of contrast in that one area. Could be a partial finger print, a drop of sweat ... it doesn't look like a spider web 'cause it doesn't go edge to edge. Some other shots had the same symptom.

The shaft of light looks sort'of like a shaft of light but I see nothing that could cause it so I'll guess flare. Also, that area left of center looks sharper, more circular. It's shot into the light so probably a smaller aperture so it would make sense that the smudge were sharper. It looks real enough but the atmospheric quality caused by fog in the air, on the lens or whatever - mix to add a lot of drama to yesterday's morning scene.

Hey you have a pretty good eye. Actually I'm shooting a el cheapo Canon point-n-shoot A590IS. It is an OK camera for its class but I need to upgrade. There IS a lens issue, but I think it is inside the camera because I can't seem to get rid of it. I'm thinking sending it back for repair will cost me almost as much as purchasing a new one. I'm looking at those Olympus Tough serious right now.

That's what I used on my last trip.  If you read my trip report ... its definitely waterproof.  I guess you can judge for yourself (trip report) about the quality.  I must admit the camera didn't really have the best weather to "show its stuff."

By the way, I'm joking!  I DO like the cloud picture and I'm sure I have thumb prints and other defects in my photos.

If you look real closely in the reflections on the water, you can see thousands of fleeing Japanese. And Mothra.

OS,
The two smudges in the bathtub did, indeed, leave a substantial ring!  Grin  But there appeared to be almost a permanent ring mark around that tub, as if  people had been bathing there for many, many years. Imagine...
