time the picture was taken, the shutter speed, the exposure settings of the camera, and whether a flash was used.

Effect produced when a variety of pixel colors are used in the same color region. Noise often occurs in images with high ISO
setting or slow shutter speed.

opacity results in a nearly invisible effect.

your digital camera's sensor to light for too long.
