[h=1]How to Tell the Difference Between the Paranormal and Plain Old Dirt[/h]
If you take photographs, chances are you've seen an orb in at least one of them. Depending on how you feel about the paranormal, these can be interesting or just plain annoying. Orbs caused by dust and other airborne particles can ruin an otherwise great picture. Some orbs, however, may be indicative of something a bit more mysterious.
It's important to be able to tell the difference between types of orbs, especially when attempting to take spirit photos. Before you rush off to show everyone the ghost energy you captured, consider the characteristics of the orb in question.


Characteristics of Dust Orbs


Dust orbs and orbs caused by other environmental particles like rain or small insects are the most common. Many people who claim to have captured spirits on camera have actually taken a picture of dust. Dirt and dust particles are present almost everywhere. Simply walking through a carpeted room can stir up a variety of things that appear as specks and spots when photographed.


How do you know if an orb was caused by airborne particles? First off, any photos that were taken during rainfall should be discounted. Rain often shows up on camera as a series of bright circles or smudges, especially when a flash is used, making it impossible to distinguish any other kind of orb. Insects are also easy to identify. Anomalies that have an insect shape or a distinctive blurred wing pattern are most likely the fault of bugs.


Dust orbs can be a little harder to distinguish, but do possess specific characteristics. These orbs often appear fuzzy or blurred and can be quite large. Some have a bright ring around the outer edge, making the center appear dim. Dust orbs also rarely leave any kind of trail; that is, they remain stationary in photographs.


Characteristics of Spirit Orbs


Once you have ruled out atmospheric or environmental interference in your photos, you can begin to consider the possibility of spirit orbs. These orbs are distinctive from dust orbs in several ways. Unlike false orbs, spirit orbs have a substance and light source all their own. They appear solid and are often brighter than dust orbs, and can materialize in a variety of colors.


Another distinctive characteristic of ghost orbs is that they are sometimes captured while in motion. Moving orbs leave a contrail behind the orb itself, and this appears as a streak of light in the final photograph. Some lucky ghost photographers have captured groups of orbs in motion at night. The effect is as spectacular as it is spooky.


The bottom line when evaluating orb photos is that objectivity is necessary. Photos must be assessed with a critical eye in order to determine whether the orbs are genuine or were caused by environmental conditions at the time the picture was taken. If you believe that you've captured an orb on film, find a local paranormal expert or investigative group to look at your photo. Their experience with the paranormal will aid in determining the true nature of the captured orbs.

Flying along those now Delvite!

I can solve your problem for you mate, the reason why the plants in the middle are growing faster than the ones round the edges are because they are directly underneath your bulb (which is really close) and as such get the most amount of light beating down on them.

If you get one of these heat/light spreaders (for reducing hotspots) it should fix the issue and you'll get a more even light distribution pattern.
