Lens flare orbs are wonder of light and technological magic!! Often they give the image an ethereal look. We would not be alive without sun energy and now, through our cameras we can see this beauty and magic of light and may also intuit these orbs as messengers of hope, love and joy.

Lens flare orbs are often seen in photographs taken into the sun, this is a description from Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia:

"Visible artifacts, usually in the shape of the lens iris, are formed when light follows a pathway through the lens that contains one or more reflections from the lens surfaces.....Most commonly, this occurs when shooting into the sun (when the sun is in frame or the lens is pointed in the direction of the sun), and is reduced by using a lens hood or other shade."

Digital phone cameras also have their own type of lens flare orbs, which I have found from my own phone camera photographs, as well as in those that people have sent to me or posted to this page. They mostly appear as a very small bright orb, sometimes green and often with another 'half moon' area of light around them.

I am seeing now many videos of orbs from clips on media and their movements are interesting.   For myself, I haven't taken any video but may try soon.   Originally I became fascinated with with their random appearances in my photographs as I felt their energy lifting the images often to Wow factor.

I enjoyed how they enhanced my photographs and found that other family and friends were also amazed at this phenomena.  It is hard not to believe that all of these 'unseen' energies are spirits.  As many do, I felt at first that they all could be visitors of a spiritual nature but have kept an open mind.   My interest was mainly in the sight of the orbs and their wonder, as they appeared in many different forms in my photographs.

I often take consecutive photographs when I capture an orb/s.  More often than not there are no orbs in the next image.  These consecutive photographs however, do show the movement of orbs that appear to be over the tree-tops. I find that by taking photographs in every position orbs will usually be found, sometimes the best orb images only at or above the tree-tops.

It is now almost 9 years since I began taking orb photographs and have published many in my book released in 2014.  I have posted some video clips of my orb-photos on YouTube and while working with my orb photographs I found I began receiving 'insights'.  The orbs appear to be a 'window' to creativity and 'light' - a mind-opener if we care to just 'allow'.  

This is a quote I like by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn:

"For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to abandon our views about them"

I would love your feedback and to hear of your experiences with the 'orbs'.
