Photo experts, what caused this?

I've seen a lot of photos with orbs in them and have taken many myself. But I've not seen one like this before. I'm asking anyone knowledgeable in digital photography to explain to me what could have caused this? I have the original photo uploaded in the photo section on this site, but it's so large, I reduced the area to post in this thread. Here are two of the crops and adjustments made to enhance it better. Yes, there was a lot of dust in the room, so I think it's a dust orb, but what about the shape around it? Can dust do that?

I'm going to rule out lens/light artifact due to the tail-like tendril that seems to swirll around whatever the heck that is.

That's an interesting photo. I'm not too tech-savy on how dust or debris might have caused the ring around the orb, so I'll just sit back and wait for the experts to put their two cents in. I'm curious to learn the technical explanation for this though, all my years of photographing orbs and dust I've never had a ring like that.

This is an interesting one. I agree that it is probably not a dust "orb". With the whitish filament around the dot, I first looked at it as almost 3 dimensional--like a jellyfish.

This should be fun to see what all the "pros" say.

There is also a "spot" just above the door handle. It looks whitish against the red of the wall. It that a blemish or mark on your wall, or just from the photo?

Also I magnified your original by 400x. I think I can see something between the picture on the wall and the door.

I am not going to say what, though, until more people look at this..

to be honest i think it could be some sort of a spirit watching whats going on if you pay attention to what is around you the paranormal activity is and will increase these are just spirits trying to warn you for an up comin change in the world everything from the littlest change to the biggest change it depends on how you see it its kind of nice i am not the only one who watches these things very closely

My dear it is a spirit. Don't be alarmed, they pass through our houses all the time, as spirits are not confined to the physical realms

I don't know what that little spot is near the doorknob. It's not my house. It is the house of my deceased grandparents. No one has lived there in quite some time.

I'm inclined to think this is a dust orb because there is a ton of dust in the house. There are orbs in almost every single photo we took inside the house. However, my grandmother was very big into the paranormal, and my daughter even made the statement that if she pulled up one of the area rugs in the house and found a pentagram on the floor, she was out of there!

I'll see if I can find another photo of that room to see if that spot near the knob is there.

I looked, but could not find another photo of that area where the spot is. I don't know if that is a spot on the wall or not. I blew up the photo 400 % but didn't see anything.

Its the eye of RA there is an NWO masonic illuminati group in your camera destroy it now.

Ha Ha... I love this camera. I'd never destroy it. Oh wait, I forgot this was taken with my daughter's camera.

So, no one has any ideas as to how this happened?

I think it was caused by somebody's horrible taste in paint colors. Ghosts are running into walls blinded by the horrible colors like a bird against a glass door. Sad really.

Help the ghosts get out and repaint the room.


IMO its something on the camera but thanks for sharing

Im not sure if you can read but i am a Professional Scientist. There is a secret society in you camera, i highly suggest you destroy it. I know it is your daughters so i just have to ask why would you get her a camera that had the NWO inside it?

reply to post by zaiger


Hey Zaiger, not that I don't enjoy the skepticism, but why don't you drop the retarded NWO junk and actually explain what happened when she took this picture?

Some of us here are actually curious about what technical error occurred, the product of which was producing this. Any idea?

reply to post by Wandering Scribe


Who you calling retarded? Wake up the NWO is everywhere even in our children's camera. That is obviously the eye of ra.

Or it could just be a watter spot on the lens or inside the camera. He did say the camera is not his so who knows how she takes care of her stuff.

Umm, the NWO isn't a specific person. So I haven't called anyone retarded. I called the idea of a NWO order retarded. Geez, some people still need to learn to read entire posts before they respond.

Egyptology happens to be one of my specialties. So I have a nice long laugh anytime someone calls it the "Eye of Ra", since it's actually the All Seeing Eye, which is the Eye of God, according to the Freemasons. Oh, and the "Eye" is actually Horus' Eye, not Ra's. Not to nitpick of course.

But, do you have any idea on the pic? 'cause I'd like to know.

We can go toe to toe on the Predynastic Period up to present day if it would make you happy.

I expect we have already met at one of these? If not you should go sometime and hear me talk.

water spot on lens or somewhere inside that camera

reply to post by zaiger


Any of the various incarnations of Horus, as a being, exist as far back as 3000-3300 BCE. This places Horus, in some form, in the Archaic period, just after Nile culture developed.

The earliest evidence of possible sun worship in Egypt is 3000 BCE, just after Menes united upper and lower Egypt. Horus therefore has a high probability of having Ra outdated.

Mythology states Ra is one of the Creator deities in Egyptian religion. But so is Atum, and Thoth, and a whole manner of others. So I suppose it still depends on where exactly your allegiances stand.

Are you with Budge and his belief that Egypt was monotheistic? That the henotheism of cult worship was actually just random personifications of Ra?

Or do you believe that the animism, paganism and shamanism from Babylon and Africa influenced Egyptian religion, thus allowing thousands of local deities to be worshiped and assimilated after cities were conquered?

Whatever though. I suppose we'll just end up going back and forth with this, since we both seem pretty set in our beliefs about a system of belief which hasn't been fully realized and translated yet.

Agree to disagree?



Water spot on the lens... alright, let's ask the OP if there was water on the lens when she took the picture. That should determine if a water spot could cause a ring and an orb in conjunction on a photo.

OP, do you know if there was water on the lens when you took the picture?

If that picture should be sideways, which it does state, then I believe it's a tried up water drop on the lens...

im no expert. just logical.

It's a spirit, an "Orb".

These are "insane" orb manifestation...
Yours is different, but you get the idea...
