Rain: False Orb Pictures                     Back to Ghost Pictures

This page was created to demonstrate that rain falling in front of the camera lens can reflect the camera's flash
and appear as orbs.  These photos show how raindrops appear to grow in size when the flash hits them, as
they strike a bright reflection of light.  
Snow will also cause this similar effect. Nathalie sent us the first photo.

We suggest that when trying to take paranormal photographs, it is best to do so when it is not raining or
snowing outdoors.  Also be aware of common causes of mists, such as snow melting in warmer temperatures
(fog), waterfalls, fountains, creeks, etc., which can also produce false orb pictures from moisture.

"I was taking pictures of the rain and every rain drop came out like orbs."
