re: filters, that was my conclusion, too, based on the four seperate images. yep, as far as quakes, most of them are tiny, and felt, but aside from something small possibly affected, the aren't a big deal. Had cracks over all the doorways, and in a lot of the corners, in my last place - plaster over wood. I knew the guy that developed the basics of Google Earth, and his first funded apps were for military use - He showed me "flyovers" of Iraq, a few years before the first US invasion. The CIA has been using tech companies openly, even funding startups, since the mid-90's, though I noticed they have stopped talking about it. I figure what they allow us civilians access to, is always 20 plus years behind the bleeding edge. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote :
Or perhaps they take three photo's in rapid succession with filters over the lens and then combine them to give one true colour image. That seems plausible.... ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fleetwood_macncheese@...> wrote : Nothing felt here, about 60 miles SE of Napa. Of course it WAS 3:30 AM or so...No damage either. That's good, my sister probably didn't notice it then. She hates Earthquakes, I tell her that North California is a pretty dumb place to live in that case. I'm sure the locals just shrug them off. PS Sal, got your response about the Bayer lens re: sat photo of plane. Thanks for the info and reply - As others have said, the scrolling function is busted on neo, so although I saw it earlier, when I tried to revisit, Yahoo has decided that free forums with unlimited scrolling eat too much RAM, and I couldn't reply. It's more an idea really, I've never seen an effect like it on terrestrial based gear, but they do use a filter over the sensor that breaks light up into its component parts so each bit can be registered seperately and get put back together for a picture, so I'm guessing that's the cause but not entirely sure how it ended up like that. I would like to see what sort of camera they use and how big the sensor is etc. but I think google Earth pics are ex-military stuff so they might not want to divulge the info, they still won't let anyone see what the camera in the U2 looked like! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : a little shake rattle and roll here is a wake up about 3:20 to an earthquake centered centered about 10 or 12 miles from here. How bad is that Bhairitu, cracked walls? Fissures in the pavement? Some structural damage and loss of power to 8000 homes. I think it was magnitude 6.
