Feng Shui Consultant - And Beings of LIGHT
Feng Shui in New York
As many of you may know, my daughter, Laura Cerrano is also a Feng Shui Consultant practicing primarily in Manhattan and New Paltz. She sent me this picture, taken on Election night with a small Cannon Digital Camera.
It was shot right on the New Paltz campus when those who supported President Elect Obama went out to celebrate. She had told me the Energy was intense that evening; some people were crying, some cheering and some just watching in awe at the scene.
We are frequently in Client's homes and they allow me to photograph them. On occasion, we have seen orbs show up in the photos later-most particularly if the clients appear to be anxious or are speaking of issues with spirits they may feel.
There is no definitive explanation for Orbs. Parapsychologists often believe them to be "Spirit Energy." Some can be explained as dust particles or rain. Another theory is that we ALL give off Energy and as it changes form, it can create round balls of light-ORBS. We were both struck by the amount of Orbs in this photo-and not a raindrop in site.
I thought I would share the picture with you and ask you---many of you take photos quite often. HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN ORBS? If you have, what have YOU attributed them to?

Hi Carole...As far as I know, I have been completely orbless. One of these days when I get around to really organizing my thousands of photos I'll double check. (Who knows when that will be.)
One thing I am sure of, few events that any of have ever experienced would have the energy that was generated on the night of November 4th.
Kate
I have gotten some orbs from time to time -- this is most interesting! I sat transfixed when I was watching Obama's acceptance speech! I am most fascinated by this photo and I do hope it is a posibive sign that great things are to come from our president elect.
Carole- No, I have never gotten orbs. I did not know your daughter was also a consultant:)
Carole I have never seen a ghost and you can add orbs to the list too. I guess I lead a dull life - LOL
Carole, I first thought rain drops then some kind or light reflections. I'm leaning away from the spirit energy on this one, although you never know : ) I put my money on something optical related.
Carole,
Beautiful photo! I do believe that they are orbs of positive and happy energy, they may be given off by the people themselves, or perhaps they're some kind of spirit beings that are there to join in the positive feelings that abounded that night.
I have seen orbs of light show up in photos
before and it is usually at places where I sense a strong energy in the air. Oftentimes I find them show up in nature photos and also around people.
Here is a photo I took at an old farmstead on a bridge that goes over a beautiful creek. I remember the day I took it I definitely sensed something/one on the bridge when I stood on it gazing at the water below. You can clearly see the energy globe hovering above the bridge. It's quite a large one.
There was no rain that day either.
Isn't the universe an amazing
and beautiful place?

I love the photo...and I've never seen anything like it. I'm going to go through my photos, but I can't recall it ever. Very interesting. GBU~
I think you remember the sunrise photos and the black dot right below the sun rising? That was weird and I attribute it to ...... still don't know what. :)
Wow, that photo send me chills. The energy of excitment, hope, and awe is in the air.
Carole,
This is the first time I have heard about "orbs". If I ever had any in photos, I would think they were spots on my lens! I am very intrigued with this.
Wow !! That is certainly an interesting phenomenon : ) Thanks for sharing that - that is something that everyone can certainly ponder on.... ~ Chris
Hi Carole ... I get orbs. I thought they were due to the lighting or lack of it. However, I've never seen a photo with so many and varied orbs. Interesting!
Perhaps that's a sign? I've always thought it to be a reflection of light back into the camera lens. But who knows?
Hi Carole, I've seen things like that but I always thought it was something wrong with my camera or focus. Never heard of orbs, but now I'll have to check it out.
I've just finished reading the Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield. It talks a lot about energy fields around people and living things. You might find it very interesting if you haven't read it already.
Hi Carole ~ No, I have never seen orbs in pictures before. It amazes me to see all these orbs in the picture. I know Laura is a professional photographer. How interesting...could it be spiritual energy???? Hmmm fascinating subject. As I was reading the blog I couldnt help hearing in my mind the music to The Twilight Zone....remember?
Hi Carole,
So that is what they are. I have had them on some of my pictures and thought I had something on the lens of the camera at the time.
All those orbs in Laura's photo are neat to see. Thanks for sharing!
I have read somewhere that not all orbs are really orbs. They can just be dust flying in the air and refelecting the light from the flash.
Interesting photo. I bet there was a lot of energy at those gatherings.
Hey Carole - the orbs are caused because the flash and lens are in close proximity on small cameras. Dust particles in the air get reflected back onto the lens. You can read more about photo orbs.
Oh man! I have some photos that I took in an extremely old theater in Fullerton. I kept retaking the phots of the chandelier but kept getting the same "orbs" that are in your photo. I though it was dust particles but now I am not sure!
Kate, There are different explanations for them but many believe them to be some sort of energy--either transforming energy or from spirits. We've had one or two in differnt photos but NEVER this many!
Joan, I know she said the Energy was absolutely unbelievable. This picture amazed her (and me) when she sent it--and I hope you're right!
Katerina, I have before--but not so many in one shot. Laura has been a Feng Shui Consultant for several years! I'm a proud mother :)
Bill, Some people never do--and many others do see them and feel them. I wonder if not believing in them makes you not see them--but maybe you're lucky!
Gary, I find it so ODD that so many pictures have been taken with this camera and except for the few that have come from homes, there has NEVER been a picture like this....Makes you wonder!
Jo, Thank you, that is one amazing photo and I'm glad you shared it! Laura FELT the energy that night (I think we ALL did) but even so, I was surprised to actually SEE it. I hope you felt a peaceful presence!
Elizabeth, I have had them on occasion but only a few....this stunned me--and still does! GBU!
Sally, I don't think it's so weird...several people that commented have had them also. In some instances it possibly could be rain or lenses--or something else!
Paul, I thought that as well. Energy changes form and some people attribute Orbs to that. Parapsychologists use cameras to look for Spirt Energy. I do think this was from pure ENERGY of the people.
Cynthia, I have heard about them for years but have only gotten a few on occasion. This was an incredible amount--on such an evening.
Chris, I was stunned to see it as well! I thought I would share it and people could make their own conclusions.
Marie, Many people believe they are something else. I seem to get them in some people's homes on occasion--but never this amount!
Carol, I really don't think it was the lens. Because of the night (and Jo's photo is daytime) and because of the immense Energy that night.
Linda, You would be interested to read a bit about Orbs. I first heard of them when I was 18 and taking parapsychology but have NEVER seen this many! I did read that book, thank you and loved it! I just ordered "Beyond Coincidence" which is said to be really interesting--and I don't believe in them :)
Fernando, I do remember that music, who could forget it? Laura takes some great shots but she's not a professional photographer! Neith one of us knows how to edit a picture :( So some just come out great! And others don't :(
Trace, It's certainly one explanation. I don't believe it was the camera although I see others do. If so, I would wonder why I only get them in some homes where people speak of spirit energy.
Patt, I've read that as well...it's possible of course. But I think of that night--and the ENERGY--this one I don't attribute to dust.
Kim, Laura said the Energy was unbelievable--this was taken right on campus when people were running out just after the announcement.
Maureen, It's certainly one explanation. But there are others too; Neither of us has ever had this many before.
Cristal, Orbs can be caused, as Maureen said, by dust particles (which would mean Jo's picture has a HUGE one :) But there are other opinions on what causes these.....read about it, it's interesting.
I must admit I have heard of auras but not orbs...I sort of think anything is possible!
Hi my friend, My Canon Camera got these quite a few times....the shop said there was water damage to the camera, and once it was a chip failure. I like your idea better.....sounds more intriguing than water damage :)
Joni, I'm surprised, it seems a lot of people haven't -- It's an interesting shot though.
Kathy, Laura's had this camera and only on very rare occasions gotten an or or two---I like my theory better too but who knows?? :)
I finished a vacant property staging and was taking photos in the family room in the walkout basement. There were mini-blinds on the windows, and low-level pot lights in the ceiling. I raised all of the mini-blinds, turned on the lights and took my shots. When I loaded them on the computer, they are completely un-usable because of the orbs. I attribute THIS instance to dust particles sent flying when I raised 6 sets of mini-blinds in a vacant house! I have had other orbs, (in a Victorian house I owned) that I think were not just particles, There was a waviness to the light, although the rest of the shot was clear.
Cheryl, The ones from the vacant may well have been from dust but I have to wonder why, in the homes people feel uncomforable in is where I'll sometimes find them. Those are only a few but this photo was more then I've ever seen.
LOL Carole - I always thought they were due to smudges on the camera lens or raindrops on the lens?
My most unexplainable "orb" ( never knew the name until now) I would have to dig up from my childhood photos in a box. My girlfriend took pictures with my 1st camera ( we were in 8th grade) at the cemetery and she just starting snapping photos cause she wanted to try it out - I snatched it from her ( I just felt very uncomfortable with her doing that )..... sure enough when the photos were developed ( remember backin the day you had to drop your photos off and then go pick them up days later LOL ) ...there was an outline of something in the back seat of our vacant parked car!
It was unexplainable.
Sincerely,
Grace
Grace, They have a name alright :) I got them on occasion on my 35mm camera too and would also get the pictures back and stare at them. I never photographed a cemetary---but there is ENERGY there--for sure. I know some people attribute them only to the camera but I don't. And isn't it interesting WHERE you got them? Thank you for sharing that!
Carole - I have had quite a few orbs lately. I thought maybe my camera had dirt on the lens or something, but they are not in every photo. Now I know what they are.
Oooh Ooooh, i had to comment on Grace's comment! I used to live in a very small town, here in Colorado that has a phenomenon occuring in the cemetery that has been chronicled for over 50 years, probably longer. I never took the time, when I lived there, but many people say that if you sit at the cemetery at night, there are visible orbs of light floating all around. Not just on pictures, but right there in front of you. It doesn't happen every time, but Life or Saturday Evening Post did a story back in the 60's about it.
Chastity, I recently visited what is considered to be one of the most "haunted" places on Long Island...I didn't download the photos yet but I'm curious if anything will show up!
Cheryl, I know some people don't believe in them but I've gotten a few in homes where the owners say there is "energy." I have never seen them in person but I would love to!!
Crole I have gotten them on occassion but never had an explanation for them. I have some on pictures of my dogs.
I do have a picture of an Orb - I'll have to find it.
Gayle, It amazes me where they show up! I don't find them often but when I do, I wonder!
Tami, It would be interesting to see and remember where you were and what you were doing. I honestly don't think it was the camera...not on that night.
I have gotten orbs many times at different places. I have taken pictures several seconds apart and gotten orbs on one photo and not the other. If it is backscatter, why wouldn't they show up on both photos. This photo was taken in side Mammoth Cave KY. I was about 250 feet below the surface. I took two pictures, this one, and a second about 30 seconds later. the orbs appeared on this one, but not the second. There was no moisture in the cave and no running water anywhere around
Here's one of my 87 year old Dad at Halloween dressed as the grim reaper (his idea!) There is a large orb sitting in his lap
This is truly fascinating. I blogged about it once when it first happened to me. I took a picture of my son waiting for the school bus. Freaked me out because nothing was there but when I started processing the photographs a glowing orange orb was floating near his head.
Susan, Your pictures facinated me! Thank you so much for posting them. I know people believe they are the camera--and I don't believe so in many cases I believe it's something else.
Carolyn, I'm so sorry I missed that blog but you're welcome if you like to put a link here! I am convinced that are not always the camera--and don't get them in most pictures either but when they show it's always wonderful weatherwise or I would attribute it to rain.
Carole - I was out taking photos today of some vacant rentals and 1 picture out of all of that I took came out with orbs and I instant;y thought of you and this post. It kind of gave me the weebie-geebies. I had taken so many in that house, but when I came into the living room there were the orbs in the pic. When I take a photo with my digital it pauses for a couple of seconds and shows me the last photo taken. I don't know, but it almost felt like something or someone was there with me.
I don't recall orbs in specific photos I have taken but now I will have to go back and look. This is a great post on a very interesting subject.
Yes I get orbs in many pictures. Believe it or not, in getting pictures done to list my house last week, both myself and a friend of mine took many pictures of different rooms, and many of them we had to toss out because of the orbs in the pictures. We both used different cameras. We both are interested in learning more about orbs. It is a very recent interest. I use air cleaners in my home, and the home is quite clean and allergin free, so we have big orbs and many smaller orbs in different pictures without any real explanation. I found your Obama picture quite intersting. It hasn't been just with this house, but others we have had before, and with different cameras. I also have an interesting picture of myself with an orb above my head while I was contemplating artwork at the Louvre in Paris. Thought it was annoying until just recently in seeing that photo, thinking that somehting must have been wrong with my digital camera. Maybe there is .. unsure.
Cheers, Matt
Turn off the flash and the orbs go away. If you still need a flash, try moving the flash further from the camera lens. This, of course, means you need an off camera flash.
