What can you do to prevent these.. I was using my friends camera while walking to a "haunted" chapel and while walking there I took a couple pics and it was perfectly clear..
Once we got there I thought id take pics inside/outside of it and still there was nothing. But after we left and went back into the woods Every picture I took was full of orbs. Some friends were smoking so I thought that might have been the cause so I stayed back and let them walk like 200 ft. And i took three pics all around me and there were still a bunch.. I had a flashlight and checked the lens but it's like a brand new camera and was clean as can be.

Everyone was freaking out when I showed them all the pictures, but I kept thinking there was a reason behind it.. But when we got back to the cars I looked over them again, and there were three pics that I took of the chapel that at first were perfectly clear, but when I checked again there were spots covering like half the picture.. Is there an explantion there?

Well.. tbh it would help if you posted a picture for us to see what you mean... I got my bets on the fact that they're glass reflections from a UV filter you are using. Cheap filters tend to have a higher tendency to produce them as they often aren't treated correctly. Basically, if you were shooting with a UV than try shooting without it to see if there's a difference. If there is no difference or if you never were using a filter when you took the shots than just upload a pic to show us what it looks like.

flash hits dust particles

not again...please....

What, if there is much dust or pollen in the air the chances that it happens meny times are quite big imo

But it is on the lens, or inside the body.



Haha. You never know.
It is the time for pollen, so it could be ? Haha.

but orbs wont happen that way, it must be so far away from the lens that flash is able to reflect back from it

Yeah, you are right. But you can get small spots.... God dammit Mads go to bed.

Just what I was thinking...



Go to bed!
