White, round glare spots or orbs sometimes appear in a recorded image when using the flash? ›

White, round glare spots or orbs sometimes appear in a recorded image when using the flash. If there are specs of dust particles floating in the air, they can be illuminated by the strong light of the flash and sometimes appear in a recorded image as white, round glare spots (aka orbs).

In photography, backscatter (also called near-camera reflection) is an optical phenomenon resulting in typically circular artifacts on an image, due to the camera's flash being reflected from unfocused motes of dust, water droplets, or other particles in the air or water.

The spot is not dust or an insect, it is an internal reflection of the light source between elements of the lens. It is called “lens flare” and it will happen with any camera when there is a light source that can be “seen” by the camera's lens.

Light spots appear on the photo ('Ghosting')

White spots on photos can be caused by light reflecting off a strong light source. It commonly appears when taking images around bright lights. To reduce light reflections, check the lighting when taking your photos.

The causes can include some types of migraines, anxiety, medication toxicity, blood chemistry abnormalities, or conditions such as stroke or tumor.

An orb is something that is shaped like a ball, for example, the sun or moon. [literary] The moon's round orb would shine high in the sky, casting its velvety light on everything. Synonyms: sphere, ball, circle, globe More Synonyms of orb.

Glare happens in product photography when your source of light hits a reflective surface. A glass bottle, shiny product label, or aluminum can cause glare and totally ruin your photo.

Lens flare often appears in photographs as circles or rings that emanate from the light source. These visible spots, or artifacts, are called ghosting. Don't confuse this with bokeh, which is a background blur effect created by your lens.

Why Does Glare Appear in Photographs? This glare occurs when a point of a light source, such as the sun, is much brighter than the rest of the scene, and it either ends up in the image (within the different angle of view of the lens) or simply hits the front of the lens element without being directly present.

What is out-of-focus light circles? ›

Bokeh derives from Japanese, a noun boke , meaning 'blur', 'haze' or confusing, silly, senile . As a photographic term, bokeh is used to describe the quality of the areas in the picture which are not in focus but 'fuzzy'. Any bright spot in the background yields a blurred round object also called a circle of confusion.

What is an Orb? An orb is typically round, blurry, and white or yellow in color. Orbs on security camera footage are typically caused by an outside matter that gets too close to the camera and its InfraRed (or nighttime) illumination. The IR illumination is not visible to the human eye.

Elemental Orbs are spheres of power connected to one of the eight elements (Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Earth, Energy, Light, and Dark.)

Transparent images usually come in a PNG file format since it allows one to set the image and color pixels to remove its background. You can get transparent PNG images from online stock photo libraries or try our transparent image maker once for free!
