No, you are not viewing vortexes captured on film. In the photos above you will see streeks of light most commonly mistaken for paranormal phenomena. A frequent question asked is "How is it possible for a light source to appear streaked with the remaining parts of the photo in focus?". It's understood that the flash from the camera basically stops movement. So the shutter opens, the camera moves just a tiny bit, just a couple of degrees, say 1/64". That's enough over a distance to create those streeks in the dark. Then the flash hits and it captures everything else without the smear depending on the particular camera model. The streeks may happen before or after the flash, but either way the streeks are independant of the frozen image durring the fraction of a second that the flash happens. It all boils down to movement durring the shutter closing, quite common in dark/night time photos. |
