what's wrong with these pics?

the first pic was taken at about 10:30am. what is that white thing in the bamboo grove?

the next pic was taken in front of a cave. at the top most middle portion is like a ball of fire, blue green in color with flare on its perimeter.

is these just camera effect or something?

thanks a lot...

Orbs? They appear quite often.

Re: what's wrong with these pics?

the First one is a Flair from the Sun

the Second a Orb caused by the sun or flash from
the camera
on a Bug. Probably a Moth.

Orbs are Specs of Dust, Rain, Snow or Bugs
that when Directly hit with
a Flash of Light
or sun, show up
on Film as Round Balls.

Dear searching;
I've already explained what the phenomeon in the first photo was in a previous thread, however the spherical aberration in the second photo is not a dust mote, and I will be happy to explain why it isn't.

FIrst, in contradiction to film, dust motes on digital sensors always manifest themselves in photos are slightly darker circular blotches, as they do not reflect light, rather they absorb it. In the old film days, first a negative was made and the negative made all dark objects light and vice-versa, however the silver halide crystals used in most film stock were rather large and not capable of re-transferring the darkness to the dust motes, hence the light colored dust motes.

Also, dust motes are most generally unoticeable in multi-colored backgrounds and they tend to only manifest themselves in areas of homogenous colors, like a blue sky or a red wall, etc

Next, dust motes are almost unheard of in digital point & shoot style cameras as the camera's sensor is completely sealed off because there is no way to change the lens, therefore the camera manufacturer can completely and permanently seal the sensor area, thus reducing or totally eliminating dust particles.

With digital SLR cameras, dust is always a major hassle and there are numerous articles written on how to check your camera's sensor for dust motes, however I've discovered that the easiest way to check is take a shot of a completely blue sky then desaturate the photo of all color until the photo of the sky is a uniorm gray color. it's then a simple matter of easily detecting all darker colored circular aberrations in the photo. These are the dust motes and they are usually easily removed with a hand type squeeze bulb that is used to blow air onto the sensor.

The aberration is the second photo is nothing more mysterious than a spherical reflection, my friend. This are quite common with point & shoot cameras and I would also have many photos with the same aberrations as you, especially in areas with large expanses of open shade.
Your friend;

I have pictures of my daughter taken from XLR's and digital cameras. At about the time her meemaw died, orbs and ecto began showing up on her pictures. I am not a freak nor do I usually believe in such things but I will start a thread this weekend to show the pics. I think many of you will agree once you see them that there may in fact be something to what we call orbs.
I agree that 99% of these orbs are caused by water vapor, dust, camera straps, etc.

But not all.
