Hello,
Over many years of my life people have shown me pics with strange things in them such as orbs/fog/ghosts/ etc.

I just thought it would be fun to start a thread About these subjects because its interesting.

I wanna know what you think causes these effects?
I wanna know what's the best camera settings to catch these things?
(say in a dark cemetery)
I would like to hear anything on this subject.
And I would like to see some pics of these things.
When I find mine I will upload.

Here is one I found on the internet in my home town it's the first pic.
It's a real old pic so who knows what could have happened with the old camera they used, I'm more interested in digital but I don't have any.

Thanks

You are right it is very interesting and I would like to see other photos with strange ghostly images on them.

As far as taking them in a cemetery for example, I would recommend that a camera is staged on a tripod in a location that is supposed to have some ghostly activity. You would try for a long exposure to see if there is anything captured at all.
This would then answer the question that is: the strange orbs and fogs that have been observed on film where really the result of a manufacturing defect in the film stock and or chemical contamination.
Since a digital camera does not have any of the above issues, if the final picture has a strange color or shape, then that is what was presented to the CCD or CMOS then and there......

Cue some X-files music please :)

Well for most DSLR camera there should be an TV value of at least 10 seconds and ten there is the B setting which stands for Bulb. I am not sure if DSLR cameras have that. I will have a look and get back to you.
