Xedajio Posted November 13, 2012 #27 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Lens flare, or for the people that disbelieve the lens flare thing, a glow stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGirl Posted November 13, 2012 #28 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm just confused by the use of the word "spooky" in the description. i'm confused by the word 'capture' in the title of this thread. i was expecting a little green man in a cage or something. kids poking sticks at it - that sort of thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowl Posted November 13, 2012 #29 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The title of the article used the word "captured" but sadly wrote "on camera" after it. I guess the verb "photograph" isn't popular any more, even in Britain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted November 13, 2012 #32 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Looks like a garden glow stick, we had some at halloween. This is an example of what they look like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowl Posted November 13, 2012 #33 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I clearly see an alien in the upper right corner of that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH32 Posted January 25, 2013 #34 Share Posted January 25, 2013 As can be seen with a few adjustments to the original photo (brightness, contrast + adding a colour filter etc.) The "little green man" (ahem) is still green. where as the original light source suggested for lens flare shows as an entirely different colour. This was would suggest its NOT lens flare - lens flare is basically light falling onto the lens which does not directly enter the image recording area (be it frame of film or sensor on digital) and although small changes maybe seen in the colour spectrum of the direct and reflected light (flare) due to lens coatings etc. I have never seen such a large difference in that spectrum caused by flare. Having played with the image some more it does appear as if there are 3 brighter globes of light within the beam (notice I didn't say orbs!) giving it an almost traffic light appearance. However all that said - it does not mean it is not lens flare caused by a different light source which cannot be seen in this picture ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Terreur Posted January 25, 2013 #35 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) well.....that bedazzled-looking scottish couple from the article could use a good round of stick-poking for this nonsense!
