I didnt see annything new there. The few "orb"pics there were, is most likely nothing more than the usual dust and pollen as i have explained in this thread: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...94401&st=75 ( That thread is the reason why you have postet this thread, isnt it - fair enouf - just tease me sweetie yes.gif )
Besides the "orbs", there is the usual lightflaws, everybody who takes more than 10 pictures get, some moist and warm breath in cold air, a few obvious fakes, and some that looks interesting - but for the "orbs" - this link cant convince me, but thanks, there was a few i didnt saw before thumbsup.gif

Hi Kroll, No I did not post it for the orbs at all, but to get off topic of orbs. Some of those pictures that I saw, and there are over 400 or more, are absolutely amazing. Perhaps the one below can explain why I was impressed with "some" of them. To be honest, I didnt see that many with orbs.

Ok sorry for jumping the conclutions, i thourgt you ment there was some convinsing "orb" pics in here (languages differences you know) i am werry quick finding my keybord, when i see something with "orbs" as you might have noticed. Ok lets stop saying the "O"-word.

Iw seen the one you are refering to before, and i think it is a thread of some kind floating in the air, i dont think that one is paranormal, but as sayd there are some that are interesting (and iw only made to 76 so far)

Egads, the old orb debate laugh.gif

I feel like whenever someone starts a new topic on orbs, the skeptics and the believers sharpen their hypothetical battle axes and go to war.

Nevertheless it's an interesting link thumbsup.gif I like the fact that it's more anomalies, as in the streaks of light (not that i'm saying it's light of course) and not so much orbs in the traditional sense

Thanks, I found it very interesting and even better, the comments from the people who took the pictures, where and when (on some of them)..I guess my subject matter was misleading..OOPS... unsure.gif

I see lots of camera straps, smoke, and moisture. For those of you digging, care to link some faves? I got antsies in my pantsies!

I liked this one. Pretty bad quality, but lots of interesting stuff going on. My guess is an overexposure from the reflection, or possibly a double exposure - but I can't quite make out what that bright thing is going up about one inch from the left side. A pretty creepy face in there too.

Hadn't seen that one yet. There are hundreds of interesting ones in there, and some of the stories around them make me sad, or some are comforting. Besides that ORB (LOL) Notice anything odd about this pic?

Hmmm... whose hand is that above the brown haired girl??? blink.gif

I would never notice without someone pointing it out. How do you catch these things?!

That is an interesting photo for sure. But where would red,hazy stuff directly beside that Stop Sign come from?

Good question, I wish we could invite the people that submitted the pictures here to get more information.

There's a brightly lit vertical area that looks like it doesn't fit, this spot is on the fence under and to the left of the red haze. You'll notice in that lit up area there's a lot of orange. It looks suspiciously like leaves with sky showing through, or sideways flames if you're more creative. This could be a photo made from film, and maybe it's just a double exposure - that is a negative from another photo was partially exposed onto this print. Double exposures often have hazes in them, I vaguely recall reading this happens when the negative or photo is pulled away during the exposure process.

Another possibility is a digital double exposure. This happens when the shutter is kept open longer than normally (often used during evening photography), and the camera is moved. This could explain the out of place "leaves" as well as the red haze. Often the image is mostly stable, with odd anomalies. More on digital double exposures and some examples here. (The last one is really cool, can't wait to get my new camera and try some of these myself!)

The more I look at it, the more I think maybe it was just taken through a car window and these are just reflections. Or, who knows, maybe the owner actually caught something here. Without knowing more about the camera, settings used, and how the other photos turned out, it's really hard to tell. Fun to try though!

To be honest I read it under the picture, and still had to keep looking, and then went OMG 5 hands? Good pick up Ep.. yes.gif

I agree it is fun. From what I remember, a gal had moved into a new area, and went outside and shot pictures to send her family and that showed up. My first impression is that someone, being female had been killed at that Stop Sign, being hit by a car, and her energy remains. That is just my sense of it. unsure.gif
