Patrick Trollope.
WELL a few weeks ago we placed a link and some images to a group who emailed us photographs they said had spirits on. This is your reaction to the images….
Click
to see..
Jo said:- "Is this a joke. Check your lens. The photos I've seen from your web site look fake. Do you really thing your photos picking up super nature waves? Or are you just conning people into believing that you can. Would like to see more evident than your photos."
Kim said:- "I think that is very very frighting. Nice images."
Steven Kingston said:- "It might just be, but I can not see the images clearly on the web pages, so you can not come to a conclusion."
Pedoja said:- "The 'orb' is a phenomenon that ypou often get with a digital camera.... I have had several, nay loads, of photos 'spoiled' because of the 'orb'.
As for the grey smokey stuff... No idea..... but could just be another glitch in the digicam image."
Our Editor's conclusion is that it is not spirits; one effect could be coursed by decentration aberrations caused by the incorrect alignment of the elements of the lens top its common optical axis. The most likely is that it is lowlight exposure picking up the reflected light on the cloud base on most of the sky images and the orbs are a combination of circles of confusion coursed by
reflected light of dew or light rain and/or muck on the lens or CCD
or flare from moon light. There are countless other courses and not spirit based. Sorry, but try again.
