Very strange!

Google "Orbs" and you will see lots of this. I saw a show about this and there is another name for similar distortions of photos, but the one I am thinking of is more of a wavy line.... I'll do some looking and see if I can come up with it.

Yeah, those are minor lens flares...I'm guessing you're using a point and shoot camera, as opposed to a dslr.

Hey well far out man ...

Did you use a lfash as it looks like a reflection from the light off the camera .:clapping:

Good luck with your skull splitting orb's of doom.......hey, you never know.

Are you seeing these prior to taking the picture ?

I could not see these things with my eyes.

I also had taken a long string of pictures of many different things. These things are only in some of them not all of them. And Like I already said,If someone else is with me they do not show up.

These things also seem to be able to turn different directions. I think if it was an anomoly of the camera that they would all look straight on. I have seen the rods and orbs before from digital cameras.

I use this camera all the time and it never did this before.

Like I said too, I want to send some pics to somebody who knows about this ****.

I poked around an a couple of photography forums I belong to, the general answer for pictures that look like yours and where the globes appear to be in different locations, seems to be:

The basic causes are the flash is too near the lens and the lens focal length is too short. This means that particles in front of the lense is 'in focus' and that light from the flash catches this dust and bounces straight back into the lens.

The only real solutions therefore are SLR type camera's and external flash units. (and this goes for red-eye problems as well)

So, what can you do if you have a powershot or similar camera? well, you can minimise the problem by using a bit of zoom and keeping the aperture as wide as possible. The idea being to get whatever it is that is catching the flash near the camera out of focus. try aperture priority and set the aperture to 2.8

Don't forget to keep the lense as clean as possible. I use an air brush.


And from the Cannon Powershot manual:


"Cause: Light from the flash has reflected off dust particles or

insects in the air. This occurs more frequently in the following
conditions:

- When shooting at the wide angle end.
- When shooting with a high aperture value in the aperture-priority mode.

Maybe? The really bright one above the light fixture in the first pics does not seem to me that it could be dust. It is hovering close to some 6900 v. I plan to continue messing around with this. So far it is only happening in two buildings, both have been abandoned for 20 years or so.

One of my friends shoots our thermoghraphy for the plant. We'll take the FLIR down there and maybe try some EVP's.
