Thank you so much for Sunday’s class on photographing nature spirits. It was beyond my expectations. I learned so much, my heart felt open and full through the whole experience. I am curious to know your intuitions and connections with the photos.

Hi Julie. Glad you liked it! You got some wonderful shots. As we discussed in class, in each area there is one special place – the alpha location – where the chief nature spirits reside. Here you got a wonderful shot of that area of the park, and then of the alpha tree inside that area. You got good shots of the faery spirits coming forward to view us. And here is where a large pixel digital camera really comes in use – when you want to blow up an area to see what is there! The downside of the large pixel cameras is that they usually have infra-red adjustments and many orbs reside in that frequency!
The faery wood orb is in motion: it was moving faster than the camera shutter clicked. so you have a slight double image. It is moving right to left, hence the darker red tinged circle edge on the right. The alpha tree orb shows a bit more detail and this is what you are looking for in orb photos: notice the interior forms that indicate substance inside the orb – in this case, two small light circles in the front and a lighter area to the upper left.
Your being able to capture them indicates a communication between the two of you that you might want to contemplate. As you know, there were many other photographers shooting that exact same scene at the same time and you are one of the very few who got an orb to manifest on film! Personal intent, and your unconscious ability to affect the frequency of your camera as it shoots are also factors.
