Dust in the air

The appearence of these things in pictures really came common with the birth of digital photography. Unfortunately there is something about the CCD Chip in a camera that loves to pick them up. The poorer the quailty of camera the more likely it will pick up dust particals. (Well thats what we find) We have reached the stage now where we bin almost 100% of 'Orb' style pics off.

Sometimes you find ones on your DVR Cams that seem to have little trails behind them. This is usually down to the fact that an insect has flown past the Cam and the frame rate of the DVR is not enough to capture it real time so it leaves a trail behind it. Kinda like what you get if you do long exposure photography and wave a light infront of the camera.

You're exactly right Steve. That's why I never take photos with a cheap camera/flash. As mentioned above, somehow my name got tagged with the photo and I've alerted our tech genius Crystal Cross of the situation.

If I use flash [which is very seldom], I will use it off camera and attach an off camera cord to it. Guess what? No orbs. If a spirit wants to be photographed, they'll show themselves anyway and won't show go through a questionable orb, taken with a cheap camera.

Hey there UT. Thanks for commenting, but I didn't take the photo. Lol. I talked to CC today and told him my name was on a couple of threads that I didn't start; this being one of them.

I like your photo man; been workin' out? Lol.
