The Mystery of The Digital Orbs

Mutainia: What’s perplexing about “orbs”, is that IF they are “dust motes”, HOW far away from the lense do they have to be to appear in the recording? They CAN’T be on the lense, because, they would not only STAY there, but, when you took a close up of someone for a portrait picture, you’d see orbs in their nose, or, in their hair or eyes. Instead, they are usually about three feet FROM the camera atleast. But, HOW can something so small and undetectable, show up for the camera at, say, three feet? And, how come there aren’t HUNDREDS of them if they ARE dust particles…instead of, sometime ZERO in the exact same room where, just seconds in difference when there were a LOT of them? NO one, that I know of, has yet to give a logical explanation for them.

An Atheist says: I have no time this morning, but the show Mythbusters did a segment on this and showed exactly how to create orbs in photos, here is wikilink explaination, I would post both links but the post would be pulled for spam.

Mutainia: From the wikipedia of which you brought my attention to: “Orbs are also sometimes called backscatter, orb backscatter, or near-camera reflection.” Get that? DO you GET that? “NEAR-camera reflection”? The important word is “near”. IF so, HOW come orbs don’t appear on the face or dark hair of the person in a portrait of the face in digital photography? YOU find a digital picture of a person with dark hair, or, a dark face, and, IF there are little orbs on it (where they’d appear bigger in the background), the mystery is solved and the wiki and Myth Busters are right on. I mean, you FIND a digital picture of a person with dark shadows or coloring in a close up digital portrait of him or her, and the mystery is solved that THAT is the reason…”near-camera reflection”. Personally, again, I’ve NEVER seen these things as “near-camera reflection”, WHICH they WOULD be IF I saw them on digital close-ups of objects.
