Orbs

Orbs! The name conjures up little balls of white light. Most orb photographs are taken with digital cameras under extremely low-light conditions and are nothing more than digital flaws caused by lack of pixilation or filling of the proper colors due to a digital defect. I have viewed thousands of such pictures and they are nothing paranormal, especially when taken with older digital cameras. Solution: always use another camera in conjunction with any digital camera especially under low-light conditions. Those not taken with digital cameras could be moisture droplets in the air illuminated by the flash unit, rain, blowing dust, snow or sometimes even small insects. Please be aware of the weather conditions under which you take your photographs.

Camera Straps

One of the most accidental and often photographed anomalies is the Camera Strap. When taking photographs and often tilting the camera 90 degrees to one side, i.e. the vertical rather than the horizontal, camera straps can and will be photographed as bright white “vortexes” that always appear the same. They have serrated edges much like a steak knife and are looping images. They are paranormal in anyway. Solution: remove your strap before taking pictures or make sure it’s behind the camera at all times or around your neck.

Bright Spiral

This is a detail from a picture taken in a well-known haunted house, the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, in the room where Charles Lemp killed himself in 1949. The bright spiral looked entirely unlike a thread or dust particle on the lens.

Upon examination of the negative, the spiral could not be found. The wall area near the light fixture was plain and clean. This mystery object could not be found on the negative and was therefore introduced when the prints were made. The photo-processing equipment apparently was in need of cleaning; many other shots in this roll had minor flaws.

Dust on the Negative

This picture shows an example of a print made from a negative with dirt or dust on its surface. Be very careful when handling negatives because some dirt is difficult or impossible to remove. If dust, dirt or prints appear on a new roll (not reprints), the problem most likely occurred in the lab. This problem should be very rare, but can happen. These specs will always appear as black on the negative and white on the positive or print.

Long Exposure

This image was made by placing the camera on a tripod with an exposure setting of ten seconds. The subject, wearing a long black coat, stood in front of the camera for about three seconds, then ran out of the frame, resulting in a semi-transparent image
