Spooky experiences while researching

It's depth of field Kerry. If you focus on a point, the image that is in focus depends on mainly aperture. This means, say, that objects 3 mtres away might be in focus but not those that are (say) closer than 2 metres. So you might say the DofF is from 2 to 6 m.

I've forgotten the formula but could look it up if you really want to know the detail.

No I'm with you now.  I think!  Pete has spent hours explaining to me about aperture and depth of field and stuff and I think I get it.

Heehee This is getting very interesting now

I love to see a good debate with good points for both sides - very healthy

I'm neutral Carol.

I just want some evidence to support the theory that these are photos of orbs. I don't think it's enough to just say they are.

I'm sceptical but willing to listen to arguments that could convince me!!!!

Like Gadget quite rightly pointed out on the aperature.it allows the light to meet after being reflected or refract at the point of concentration,if for example you wanted to take the same photo twice and just happen to step to one side from your original stance,the second photo would be slightly out of focus.

hello!
when i was a little girl about 2-3 i used to have awful nightmares i used to dream that my 'real' parents had flown away in a hot air ballon and i can remember waving at them,much later (when i was 17) i found out i was adopted by my grandparents and who i thought was my sister was infact my mum.
But the worst ones were of people burning infact they were so bad that a nurse had to come to the house to give me injections and i can remember screaming and crying and trying to get away from her.
When i was much older my mum (nan) told me that she had been adopted and her mothers first child a little girl had died at the age of 5 she had been brushing her hair by a candle and it caught alight.

Hate to spoil the thinking on this but that heavenly body"the orb' is definitely mist on the lense,in my experience,mist is always more compact in the middle of the lense

when my son was very small about 3 he would talk about a little boy he described the boy who was older than him and seemed to be from another time the name 'GENUS' would come up i dont know what that means but the scarry thing was that he said the little boy had a rope around his neck.
Befor he was born my son said he was on a cloud with all the other babies waiting for parents,but befor that he said he was a lady in a long red dress but a nasty man stabbed her with a knife and then he was a baby again,he would talk about this constanly with no prompting from us and said he saw 'GENUS' everynight but never seemed worried about it,he never mentions it now and nor do we.
