Question for Isaac and other snappers

I know a few on here on into their photography should Id just like an opinion.

Check these out:

These are typical of most ghosty pics you'll find. Im far from convinced, to me these are just problems or related to the camera/film etc. Any 'professional' opinions??

 

The "orbs" are particles of dust close to the lens which the flash illuminates. They're very close so they're strongly out of focus, making a larger circle rather than the point size of the dust mote that causes it.

The one with the "energy swirl" on the left side is simply a long exposure in a dark place with someone waving a torch around in circles.

I don't know the exact process of all of these, but I'm happy to rule out the paranormal.

 

Yep as Isaac says all acidental or deliberate film, flash or lens effects.

 

Thought as much, bloody orbes indeed!

 

Oooh I get 'orbs' all the time on my Dads old digital camera! I must have a very dusty house...

 

:ffrc: :ffrc: what a load of cobblers that site is!

 

That one is particularly ridiculous... it's a simple lens flare. Someone has even pointed this out to the owner of the site, but they have continued deluding themselves....
