Photographic tricks?

[Garmard]

Has anyone on jolly old AB ever snapped a picture with any old camera (Digital or otherwise) and something other than what you have taken appeared in it......What is this phenomena called?

good to see you back Garmard. Just the usual orbs on cameras in my experience

I had a couple of orbs appear on my camera once. Great party that.

I was in a band once and we did a photo shoot in a spooky old quarry near Boxhill, when we got the pics back from the developers - there were subtle electric blue zigzags on one or two of them. (cue Twilight Tone theme)
I've had some weird lens flares in some of my pics, and one or two lucky moments where people in the background did something interesting that I didn't notice at the time.

I took some photos of an amateur stage production of 'Oliver', to send to a local newspaper. The set designer had painted the stage flats to show a background of shop windows, with good old-fashioned names (along the lines of 'Bloggs & Co' or 'Smith's Butchers) over each window, Somehow or other I managed to find an angle which included the end of one name, and the beginning of another, partially blocked by stage props, so that the only name visible above the Victorian shop windows appeared to read 'Tesco'!

While based in Germany a long time ago now well...13 year, we went visit Munster Zoo. Snapping away, as is my want in life, I took a picture of a Silverback Gorilla sitting chilling at the glass of its massive enclosure. When the image came back it looked like our son was being lovingly cuddled by the Gorilla. I had picked up his reflection in the glass when i shot the image.......couldn't have set that up if I'd tried
