I visited Castell Henllys the other day with my neice, gf and dad...been there loads of times but it was the first time i had my digi camera with me.
took lots of pics, most of them turned out as you would expect, completely normal, but some showed white orbs which my sister assures me are paranormal. Im not so sure. waddayathink?

To be honest they are beautiful but there are so many, small and large I "think" they are dust, pollen or some sort of reflections. Digital cameras tend to pick up more orbs than any other camera. It is "said" that a paranoral orb is perfectly round, and has texture (for lack of a better word) to it. I checked yours up close and the edges are sort of fuzzy which to "me" means something other than paranoral. Great shots anyway. Do you have any other photos from that area? JN-

I agree.

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 like you said, 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.
