Manhattan Feng Shui Consultant -- And Orbs

I must admit I have heard of auras but not orbs...I sort of think anything is possible!

Hi my friend, My Canon Camera got these quite a few times....the shop said there was water damage to the camera, and once it was a chip failure.  I like your idea better.....sounds more intriguing than water damage :)

I finished a vacant property staging and was taking photos in the family room in the walkout basement.  There were mini-blinds on the windows, and low-level pot lights in the ceiling.  I raised all of the mini-blinds, turned on the lights and took my shots.  When I loaded them on the computer, they are completely un-usable because of the orbs.  I attribute THIS instance to dust particles sent flying when I raised 6 sets of mini-blinds in a vacant house!  I have had other orbs, (in a Victorian house I owned) that I think were not just particles, There was a waviness to the light, although the rest of the shot was clear. 

LOL Carole - I always thought they were due to smudges on the camera lens or raindrops on the lens?

My most unexplainable "orb" ( never knew the name until now) I would have to dig up from my childhood photos in a box. My girlfriend took pictures with my 1st camera ( we were in 8th grade) at the cemetery and she just starting snapping photos cause she wanted to try it out - I snatched it from her ( I just felt very uncomfortable with her doing that )..... sure enough when the photos were developed ( remember backin the day you had to drop your photos off and then go pick them up days later LOL ) ...there was an outline of something in the back seat of our vacant parked car!

It was unexplainable.

Sincerely,

Grace

Carole - I have had quite a few orbs lately.  I thought maybe my camera had dirt on the lens or something, but they are not in every photo.  Now I know what they are.

Oooh Ooooh, i had to comment on Grace's comment!  I used to live in a very small town, here in Colorado that has a phenomenon occuring in the cemetery that has been chronicled for over 50 years, probably longer.  I never took the time, when I lived there, but many people say that if you sit at the cemetery at night, there are visible orbs of light floating all around.  Not just on pictures, but right there in front of you.  It doesn't happen every time, but Life or Saturday Evening Post did a story back in the 60's about it. 

Crole I have gotten them on occassion but never had an explanation for them.  I have some on pictures of my dogs.

I do have a picture of an Orb - I'll have to find it.

I have gotten orbs many times at different places. I have taken pictures several seconds apart and gotten orbs on one photo and not the other. If it is backscatter, why wouldn't they show up on both photos. This photo was taken in side Mammoth Cave KY. I was about 250 feet below the surface. I took two pictures, this one, and a second about 30 seconds later. the orbs appeared on this one, but not the second. There was no moisture in the cave and no running water anywhere around

Here's one of my 87 year old Dad at Halloween dressed as the grim reaper (his idea!) There is a large orb sitting in his lap

This is truly fascinating. I blogged about it once when it first happened to me. I took a picture of my son waiting for the school bus. Freaked me out because nothing was there but when I started processing the photographs a glowing orange orb was floating near his head.

Carole - I was out taking photos today of some vacant rentals and 1 picture out of all of that I took came out with orbs and I instant;y thought of you and this post.  It kind of gave me the weebie-geebies.  I had taken so many in that house, but when I came into the living room there were the orbs in the pic.  When I take a photo with my digital it pauses for a couple of seconds and shows me the last photo taken.  I don't know, but it almost felt like something or someone was there with me.

I don't recall orbs in specific photos I have taken but now I will have to go back and look. This is a great post on a very interesting subject.

Turn off the flash and the orbs go away.  If you still need a flash, try moving the flash further from the camera lens.  This, of course, means you need an off camera flash.
