I took a photo of hubby the other night and noticed an orb next to his forehead while I was uploading it. So I thought I'd zoom in and take a look. This is what I found...

HI Halfrida. :)

Thanks for sharing your discovery...Looks like a good one..

I have been meaning to post mine that I have been sitting on for years..

Perhaps soon may be a good time. :P

I have found that ..some times. it is the people that cause these orbs..to appear..some times its the location..

One never knows..what awaits around the next corner. ;)

Would it not be easier for us all to judge the orb if we could see the whole of the original photo with perhaps the position of the orb marked within it (if that were necessary)?

The orb itself seems to comply with the general pattern of orbs in that it has the usual structure of several concentric circles which show their own frequency variations in each orb. Many orbs seem to contain sub-images and those, in turn, sub-sub images. I have never seen a greatly enlarged orb which displayed any structure suggesting that it might be a particle of dust or even moisture. Has anybody any idea as to whether or not people have ever tried, scientifically, to enlarge orbs in photographs to really large degrees, using the sort of photo-enhancement equipment such as that used in sharpening astronomical photographs? I feel that if orbs were the result of "dust particles" it should somehow be possible to identify the nature of the dust. I have never believed the "dust-particle" explanation anyway as I have tried taking photos in very dusty environments and have only ever got the effect that we see in sunbeams, never any "orbs" as such. Meanwhile, these onion-layered orbs do not behave like dust, or anything else for that matter. I will add that orbs that have been filmed on video and conventional film and in different light frequencies, whizz about all over the place with an apparent mind of their own. Individual dust particles do not behave like that. :)

If you carefully at the center ring, it looks like the face of a "grey" alien.

I installed a new door yesterday. These orbs showed up. Out of 5 pictures these were the only ones w/orbs. (The door and trim boards will be painted)

Oh, you are so lucky Bubba!! I'm sort of "meh" about orb photos, but your blue ones have a LOVELY energy about them. They have tinges of violet around the edges. They are truely beautiful. :sun:

I am always winding up with orbs in many of my pictures. I have no idea why. Have had some nice pictures ruined by orbs.

As far as the cause of orbs, I have a wait and see attitude.

Side note: The chair in the picture with the hat on it is a family memento from Mrs. Earl's family. It is well over a hundred years old. An old wood chair with cowhide seat. It may be an object of attachment to those who have passed away.

I don't know if you noticed this but in that second picture it looks like there's someone hiding with the gun point in the reflection of the window...

That is a reflection of the rustic cedar support post for the porch. The post still has the short limb stubs. But thanks for the interest and observation.

How beautiful...! I get the impression they are spritual energy on a very high vibrational level Bubba... Mrs Earls family may well have something to do with its presence... I think you may well be right !

I don't know Newbs, but it is interesting. Like I've said before, I seem to have an affinity for attracting such things. I must get busy and post all my orb pics in one thread just so BoT members can be puzzled by them.

The orb fenomena is a clear-cut case of flash reflection off of dust, particles, insects,snow or moisture droplets in the air in front of the camera, i.e. they are naturalistic.

Orb photos have become so common that some ghost-hunting organizations are no longer accepting submissions of them.

Naturalistic orbs are most commonly gained using digital cameras and built-in flash. While photographers with archives of photos report having occasionally seen "orbs" in their photos gained with film cameras, the recent rise in reports of orb photos may be directly related to the common availability of digital cameras and associated rise in the number of pictures taken.

It should be noted also that the size of the camera is another consideration in the recent proliferation of orb photos. As film cameras, and then digital cameras, have steadily shrunk in size, reports of "orbs" increased accordingly. As cameras became smaller, the distance between the lens and the built-in flash also shrank, decreasing the angle of reflection back into the lens.

There are a number of naturalistic causes for orbs in photography and videography.

-Solid orbs - Dry particulate matter such as snow, dust, pollen, insects, etc.

-Liquid orbs - Droplets of liquid, usually water, e.g. rain.

-Foreign material on the camera lens.

-Foreign material within the camera lens.

-Foreign material within the camera body.



Have a look at this...

Show me a picture that isnt one of those "booring normal pictures"... and then explain to me why it isnt.

Try the second pic in the first post of [url=http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopict-17832.html]this thread. That one doesn't fit any of your "naturalistic" scenarios.

If you think it does, we can discuss the technical reasons why it doesn't.

Those are some cool pictures, Halfrida and BubbaEarl. Thank you for posting them.

I always find orb pictures interesting. I have only seen a few that showed up in film from camcorders. Those can really be neat.

dolphin :D

Hey Haz, explain an orb behind an object which allows only part of the orb to be visible. I would post it here but can't because the owner will be using it in a book.

I also am very familar with all of your statements regarding orbs as are most of the members who have posted in this thread.

You are right, that one doesnt look like your typical round orb...But to go from "I have no idea what it is at this time", to - it must be a ghost or a spirit- is a bit of a streach, dont you think!?

Tell me, what do you think it is we are seeing.

And then Ill tell you what I think it is.

I have no idea what it is. I wasn't there, have no reasonable context to reference the pic against.

I do know that the "tails" on the whatsits are quite unusual, and can in fact be explained by conventional optics if one makes certain assumptions, but the "tails" fail both versions of the explanation because they are neither parallel nor convergent on a common light source center. Incident sunlight is sensibly parallel at ground level (as in parallel shadows), or if the viewing and sun angles place the sun near enough to frame that it becomes an effective single source of primary illumination then within the optics of the lens system it can possibly create the tails, but they would show convergent angles.

The tails on those whatever-they-ares conform to neither. They're pretty willynilly.

ETA> At first blush, when looking for possible mundane explanations, the thing that came first to mind for me was airborne water droplets, but I had to set that aside once the irregularity of the "tails" was considered (not to mention the disparity of size from object to object, since droplet size inall cases would be governed by the same atmospheric, temperature and humidity conditions).

My guess would be, chemical drops or air bubbles during processing.

Casey, I am unable to access your picture. Hang on for a bit. I'll go to the gallery to try to find it if that is where you put it.

Edited to add that I could not locate your picture in the gallery. Sorry Casey.

Whew, I found a picture that seems to fit your description. Is this it???

Hi, Long time no see! I would like to be able to put the original photo up but it is of my husband and I don't feel it is my place to put the whole thing up. I'll try to cut him out somehow! I'm not sure what the particle is. I'm quite happy to accept that it may be dust but it sure ain't snow (not down in Adelaide anyway :sun: ). Unfortunately I can't remember if there was a fire. If so, that would probably explain it.

Here's the original with anonymity intact! Kind of...

There was definitely no fire as it was February and that is a total fire ban season in South Australia. There were no other orbs in the shot.
