Strange question for nature photogs, right?! But here's why I ask: I was involved in a project which required me to do 2 photo shoots in a cemetery, of all places. In several of the images, from both shoots, there are orbs which for the life of me, I cannot explain. I couldn't believe my eyes when I was going through the images on my card. I wouldn't think such a thing could happen to me. I was certainly not looking for this! I've taken hundreds of thousands of pictures in my life, and have never gotten anything unusual, except for the cemetery shoot images.

Let me know if interested and I'll post some shots with the orbs. I would actually be greatly relieved if someone could offer an alternative-to-supernatural explanation!

Post a couple, Rebecka! You've gotten my curiosity up.

I once asked a sky diver if he was crazy to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft? His reply...Well, it's para-normal for me. :jump:

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Were you using an on camera flash? example wiki linky

All right, Beatrice, there was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
- from Men in Black

I too would like to see them and also wonder if you were using flash.

Rebecka,

I certainly hope that you were using an on camera flash. I've been doing some research and I found that you may be in extreme danger after your activities.

The only protocol that will ensure your safety is for you to burn all of your camera gear that you used to capture these orbs or rid yourself of the gear in some other manner. Any person utilizing this camera gear in the future will be in the danger that I am warning you of.

I am willing to help you by accepting all of your camera gear. I will thoroughly test it for the next few years to verify my findings.
:razz:

Ah ha… I always knew that Floris van Breugel’s work is so good, he must have a supernatural edge.

That’s it… I’m out of here, and I’m sleeping with the lights on tonight.
