Enhanced Orbs

 

The left orb was on top of my daughters' heart chakra, and the right orb appeared during Christmas breakfast on the dress of a friend of mine.

 

I like enhancing orbs like this because it makes them surprisingly beautiful in colour, and that appeals to my artistic heart. I got the idea from Hubble telescope photos of galaxies and far-away gas formations. NASA artificially colours them to make their shapes more visible. In a very simple way I've done the same with these two orbs above. I've increased the brightness/contrast and shadows/highlights in iPhoto.

NOT ORBS?

Not every odd light phenomena in photographs are orbs! Here are a few examples:

Tree Planting Ceremony

Greensboro
Vermont

 

Karin and SIg at the ceremony when their Granddaughter Elsa's placenta was buried under an apple tree. It looks like a cloud of smoke, but it could be two interlocking orbs, forming a vesica.



Elbow Stone at Calendar II,

a sacred site in

Central Vermont

This was taken in the early '80's with a 35mm camera and is not an orb as we know them now. I would call this a light anomaly.

It looks as if an orb is being formed here...

and a few steps later there it is, an almost perfect sphere, note how the light of the street light is shining on the orb.


And yet, I do not think the above photo's are true orbs. Every time I take a photo neer a street light, a sphere appears in different stadia of completion. I think this is digital lens/light/flare optical distortion.

This is no orb, but certainly a strange substance is taking off from my coffee table.

My own orb
