Yeah. Trying to get the rabble roused. If my phone took pictures of orbs as well as Tyrion's did I'd never upgrade it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen an orb in any photo I've taken, not that I've looked closely at many of them. I don't know why I take the pictures in the first place.Quote:

As you can see, I have found myself living in an area of farms, with angus black cows in large numbers around here, and horses, the occasional sheep. I prefer to let other people do the work of caring for them and just stroll by to take pictures, myself. ;-)Quote:

You ought to see my notes on "Triangular UFOs" presentation. If you care, you can take a look at my thread covering the entire trip.
To the subject at hand, your new phone camera is causing me to question my 10 lb Pentax, a little exaggeration on the weight, but you get the point.
Yeah, the camera in the S7 has really knocked my socks off. Oh, and you do know Stanton Friedman's heart attack was induced by the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergers, right? Can't have him spilling the beans on the reverse engineered UFO technology currently being used by the Council on Foreign Relations.
I looked up a way to take orb pictures, but my handful of attempts didn't contain any orbs. The method said I had to use a flash. Anyway, it took me some time to figure out how to set the flash to go off. I usually just leave things on "auto" mode.
Then I got interested in the raindrops on the window and I wondered if there was a way to focus up close on those. That involved another setting that I just learned how to use. In case you are wondering those orange circles in the background are not orbs, but the unfocused lights from houses across the street.
Here is the result:

That´s an interesting picture, YesNo, maybe you should try to photograph these raindrops against iluminated background, for example at night.
I thought the whole story of the orbs was a big joke, but you seem to be serious about it. But maybe it would be good to investigate if that green orb on Tyrion's pic is not the result of some technical device, maybe from his own camera that got in the way of the image.
Now that I figured out how to take close-ups with the phone's camera, I'm going to experiment further. The illuminated background sounds interesting. I have trouble with night photography. That also might be because I leave things on "auto".
The orbs are sort of a joke, and yet I understand that people can actually get photos of them. However, I haven't been able to do that, but then I haven't really tried very hard. On the other hand, I am the sort of person who will quickly suspend disbelief. Tell me about Bigfoot and I'll start interpreting it as a modern speciation event. Tell me about the Tarot, and I'll likely give it a try coming up with some psychological theory to justify it. Tell me about UFOs and I'll want one of them to beam me up.
Well then this may interest you, YesNo. The raindrops, as any of the high ceremonial magicians of ancient Egypt could have told you, are spiritual companion to the orbs. Those may only look like lights from the houses across the street, but when seen through the raindrops, they become orbs. In this way, orbs have been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years, often mistaken for fire or candlelight.
Ah! That reminds me of Masaru Emoto's "messages in water". Whatever those circles of light are in my photo, whether blurred lights from a neighbor's house or ancient Egyptian orb-droppings, that orb in your photograph is the best one on this thread so far.
