(Orbs caused by flash are the main subject of this article, but the sun or other light sources in the picture can cause orb-like effects due to lens flare.

The photographic terms for this effect are backscatter and near-camera-reflection. This is not because of the digital recording device, but the compact optical design of the cameras, the short focal length and small aperture of the lenses and the close proximity of lens and flash. And orb photos are more common with digital cameras than film. If they were little bundles of energy floating around, they would be just as visible to the naked human eye as to the camera.Īctually, it is often only cameras with a flash positioned close to the lens that show up orbs. Why is it that these 'orbs' only show up in photographs? You don't actually see them. Orbs can appear in videos (see note below) and still photographs, and some people still claim that they are an early stage of spirit manifestation. There are still many paranormal investigation websites that show photos of orbs as evidence of paranormal activity.
