Photo of Fairy???

[Faeawyn]

Hey...I went to this site http://www.eceti.org/orbs.htm, and they have tons of photo's taken with orbs...and a close picture they took of this fairy/angel creature.....
Of course, I don't believe it's totally real....but it does have me curious :hehehehe:
What do you guys think?

[Goddess Rhiannon]

I don't know if it is real or not...but the pics are cool.

[LittlePerson]

That is so cool. I want to believe it is.

[soilsigh aingeal]

I agree, cool pics, real or not!

[IvyWitch]

Maybe I'm just being too skeptic for my own good, but it looks like blurry water droplets...

[Katya]

i don't really think it's real, but i'd like to believe that that is, indeed, a fairy.

humf.

[Druchii]

http://www.mysticwicks.com/photoalbum/albums/userpics/18133/parque3.jpg Here is one that I have been looking into.

[Faeawyn]

If anyone has the Faeries Oracle by Froud....it kind of reminds me of one of the singers :hehehehe:

[Faeawyn]

Here is one that I have been looking into.
No way!!!! :jawdrop: Look at that little dude :foh:

It is not manipulated, or the product of a digital camera. Every photo I have posted in my album like these are the most reliable I can find, and only after I looked into them did I start to show them.

[Brynn]

Wooo, that makes me dizzy!

[13thChylde]

I've seen these up close and personal. The first time was when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was driving home through the country, instead of taking the usual highway route. There is a gorgeous old home that is surrounded by all kinds of gorgeous flowers, The woman who lives there owns a garden shop down the road...and there were about 5-7 blue lights flitting around, doing loop-de-loops and zipping through the flowers. I knew they were faeres.

The other time was at my house. It was after mother's day in 2000. I had spent all week studying a book of flower essence info and a deck called "Flower Speaks" that I had received for mother's day. I had an urge to plant angelica in my garden, after pulling that particular card earlier in the day. So after gardening, I was out in the hot tub that evening. It was dark, and the hot tub used to be in the corn crib at the edge of the woods. After I got out of the tub, I was drying off under the trees, and a big white orb came barreling through the tree tops and stopped about a foot from my face. I had such a feeling of utter peace come over me. I took my towel and just layed under the stars for a long time.

You can believe that I always plant what they tell me to!!

[Pol]

I took this myself, so I can vouch for authenticity. I took them in scotland (made a thread about it, erroneously in the dreams/divination forum), on a celtic hill fort. The stone pictured was in the very centre, and appeared to have been formed like an oblisk of sorts. I reckon it to once have been a standing stone in the centre of the fort. I did not see these spirits when I was there, but I was not enlightened at the time. I saw them after developement.
The only editing I have done is zooming in (and a crappy job of it there), and some brightness/contrast enhancements because the images on the CD were all really poor quality.

[DixieWitch]

ALL of these pictures are awesome!! I wish I could have the luck of getting a shot like this!!! Things like this make me more of a believer!!

[Mysticism Deity]

WOW!!! awesome pictures.

I am obsessed with faries!

I love froud art. I have his good/bad feary book.

[Pol]

I have faeries and good/bad faeries. That photograph that I took is the one that made me realise spirits exist.

[redlady]

How the heck could those guys on horseback not notice that?!?!?!?!?!?! :bug:

[TimeWalker]

All these pics are so cool! I've seen little shadows out of the corner of my eye which disappear when I turn to look...I've been told they are Faeries...but wish I could see them...I mean REALLY see them!

That little guy in the horseman picture reminds me all of the world of this dark spirit I saw last halloween. It was about that high, maybe a little higher, and shaped the same way - smooth, pygmy like, bald head. He was solid black, like a shadow. Walked just like that, the stride and such.

Here is a scan of the negative. The camera used was a Kodak DX490 if I remember right.

[Holly Ariadna]

I think I saw I fairy at my grandmother's house last summer. :uhhuhuh: I was about to go to bed and my bedroom was really dark, but I saw a little "ball" of light close to the ceiling that started moving around a little bit. :) It was sooo cool!

[Faeawyn]

Man Dru...that freaks me out. That little guy is AWESOME!!!

Pol...Those pictures are amazing. Now I wanna go outside and take pictures of my pool deck area and see if any faeries are out there :hehehehe:

[Druchii]

http://www.mysticwicks.com/photoalbum/albums/userpics/18133/LuisOjeda.jpg This is Luis Ojeda, the man who is investigating the area that the photo was taken in. I will post more on this as I get it.

[nomadicdragon]

Very cool photos.

[docdoo]

Awesome pics guys...

Dru...Do they have any ideas what the heck it was? (Always assuming of course that it's real LOL)

now that right there is freakin awesome!!
im so happy for you!! and jealous :p

[soilsigh aingeal]

I used to see star-looking things outside at my aunts house all the time when I was little, wonder if that's what they were? I always just thought i was crazy or something

[charmedkisses1]

Somone had fun with photoshop... or DID they??? :smileroll

[Druchii]

Awesome pics guys...

Dru...Do they have any ideas what the heck it was? (Always assuming of course that it's real LOL)

No idea yet. A little freaky isn't it?

[Faeawyn]

Dru..why is the picture so blurry??

[Druchii]

Dru..why is the picture so blurry??

It was an accidental exposure that happened from what I know. Hence the reason for the motion blur look on it, and why I thought it was a helaciously good fake at first.

[Starpixie]

Cool! I'm fae crazy.....I am so jealous!

[Dallin]

Very cool... a lot of "fae" photos can be put down as lense flair or water in the wrong spot, but all the ones here I would believe are genuine (and Dru, well what can I say? THAT one sure as hell ain't lense flair! :D )

[mucgwyrt]

Can you take photos of faeries etc on digital cameras? Or do they mostly show up on film-cameras? What about camcorders?

[Druchii]

Can you take photos of faeries etc on digital cameras? Or do they mostly show up on film-cameras? What about camcorders?

There has been some debate about that... but there have been situations where both digital video and traditional film reel cameras have caught unusual things on them.
If fae are something tangible and physical but more akin to "RODS" then the cameras are catching them because they move faster than our eyes can register.
With digital cameras depending on the megapixels many fae photos can be written off as "artifacting" in the resulting jpeg that is captured on the camera. The higher the megapixel rating on the camera, the higher the resolution and end result.
That is not unlike the rating system for traditional camera film 100 speed yeilds greater definition, and has a finer grain ( producing better blow ups for posters, billboards and the like) but suffers from motion blur and non low lux rating. 1000 speed film on the other hand is FAR more forgiving, but yeilds a grainier negative since it is not as senstive as the 100 speed film. It also can be noted that although you can fake effects with a traditional SLR camera ( most 35 mm cameras ) it is a little harder to do, the normal stuff you see occur especially in the ghost/ufo areas are double exposures and whatnot, but even then, the negative never lies, and it can be detected. the above negative is a single exposure.

No, I know. There IS something there. The people investigating the area are looking for tracks, really ANYTHING that explains what it was...

Right, so what's caught in pictures isn't something we just can't see period and which cameras can, but it just catches what moves too fast for us to see... (?)

There's something in one of the rooms in my house, and I'd love to be able to see it (though it's nasty, so it might freak me out a bit :lol: ). Unfortunately it's only about at night, though I could put a lamp on, or a candle... :huh:

Maybe I'll give it a go with my digital camera tonight :D

[Phi]

http://www.mysticwicks.com/photoalbum/albums/userpics/18133/parque3.jpg Here is one that I have been looking into. WOW! Druchi! Let us know what you find out! Do you suppose it waited by the side of that road for the horse and rider to pass before crossing? If so it must be moving fast to be seen so close to the rear of the horse from that angle, hmmm? What's the small grey blur he seems to be walking toward? A tiny kitty-pet? A bird? Have you tried to tell?

[mucgwyrt]

Bless, he's blonde :hearteyes:
It looks like he's looking right at the camera, too!

[Phi]

Um yes and no, a lot of times like this one, it was just luck and hapstance. You tend to see a lot of this under certain circumstances, but just like that pic I posted a while back on the creature they found in the sludge, and most people'e reactions I got was it was too perfect. It's an odd thing to work in cryptozoology because your are damned if you do get a good clear photo, and damned if you don't. I even have a pic that was taken by some people on vacation (suppossedly, in the Meditteranean somewhere) and they swear they never knew what the creature was, they just snapped a pic of it, and thought it was a large local lizard. It looks like a mini raptor. The point is if you manged to GET a photo there will always be naysayers. Regardless of the situations or the camera type.

[mucgwyrt]

Hhhm, yeah, I know what you mean.
I dont know much about photography, but is there a way of un-blurring the photo? Even a little bit?

[Druchii]

I have no clue. That is what Ojeda is looking into. I was just one that was asked to look at the photo. The one thing I do know about horses, and Docdoo can probably back me up on this is that they are EXTREMELY sensitive to their surroundings, most of you probably know it is fairly easy to spook a horse from behind. As far as I can tell, there is no tampering that has been done to the file or the negative at all.

[mucgwyrt]

Looks like a pigeon to me...

PS - where is this taken? Is the photographer an everage Joe? Do you know them (are they reliable?)?

[Druchii]

Hhhm, yeah, I know what you mean.

Not without creating artifacts in the eletronic file. It was sent to me as a jpeg format. 72 dpi. that is the minimum standard for web images. Photoshop is one of the most powerful imaging programs available, and I have access to it, but the most that could be done is to use the filters available to sharpen it. But even that term is a misnomer. You can see what I mean when you take an image to have it enlarged, the sharper and clearer the image the easier it is to "correct" it.

[mucgwyrt]

:uhhuhuh: yeah, I tried tweaking it with some stuff we have here (I'm a graphic designer) but nothing really helps. Any hope of getting a bigger scan of the photo?

[Phi]

Okay..look to the right of the rider with the horses' patootie facing you...

This caught my eye too. If you look there almost seems to be a mirror image of that horse and rider among the trees. But only between those 2 trees...
What's that?:holycow:

[mucgwyrt]

no, he's sitting differently - a 3rd rider?

[docdoo]

heh, that is a neat pic and while I have doubts, I'm willing to check it out. What interests me in the photo you posted Dru is the rider on the right. If you'll notice the rider is leaning to the left slightly, being that I own horses I noticed this almost instantly.

When riding, leaning to one side or the other is generally caused by only a few things. The first is inexperience, but since these are mounted officers inexperience is probably not a reason.

Another reason is ill fitting tack, but since the saddle doesn't appear to be leaning then most likely that's not the purpose either.

The other most common reason for a lean is when the horse spooks or sidesteps. The lean tends to be a reflexive action that occurs when the animal sidesteps in the other direction. Dru, more than anything this is what makes me actually wonder about this picture. If you notice the horse is also leaning, which would be in keeping with an animal that is in the midst of a spook. Generally speaking the front end moves first and the rear follows...It's not a hugely noticable thing but noticeable enough that I caught it right away.

The reason a spook stands out so much is because these are police horses and they are amoung some of the most bomb-proof horses in the world. A spook from one of these animals is something of note. *shrugs* Keep us informed ok?

Oh, and also...did anyone else actually 'see' the critter, I mean...the humans. Were there reports that they saw it?

[mucgwyrt]

I assumed the guy was leaning to swat the horse with his whippy-thing-mabob, which you can see on the right... :huh:
oh, and then there's the tree branch which looks mighty close to his head... maybe he's ducking :lol:

[Druchii]

Looks like a pigeon to me...

PS - where is this taken? Is the photographer an everage Joe? Do you know them (are they reliable?)?

The photographer is an Engineer named Germán Pereira. He is the one in red, in the photos below. No, I don't know him personally.
I found the original letter that was sent to me, via email, that he wrote his account of what happened in. I will post the original below, and then have the translation up shortly.
Much to my chagrin, the camera is indeed a digital ( I looked it up ), which makes me wonder, and be a little more wary. The image a few back of the negative was noted as such by the guy that sent it to me. It is in fact just an interopolated filter used to "create" a negative out of a digital photo.


Soy de Concepción y estoy trabajando en Santiago desde hace poco más de un año. El día 10 de Mayo del año en curso decidí salir a tomar algunas fotografías en el Parque Forestal, tomé alrededor de 10 fotos las cuales descargué en mi PC al día siguiente.*

Me pareció interesante retratar un grupo de Carabineros a caballo que se encontraba patrullando el sector, foto que tomé aproximadamente a las 17:40 hrs. desde la esquina de JM de la Barra y Av. Cardenal José María Caro, en frente del Bellas Artes mirando hacia el oriente.*

El día estaba nuboso y el sol estaba ocultándose por lo que mi cámara digital (modelo Kodak DX6490) se ajustó a una velocidad baja (1/10 seg.).

Esa es la razón por la cual la foto salió movida (el que sepa algo de fotografía entiende la razón), además los carabineros estaban a unos 20 m por lo que debí usar el zoom óptico de la cámara (10x), eso sumado a lo anterior dio el resultado por Uds. conocido.

La verdad es que estoy muy impresionado por la imagen que en ella aparece, que aseguro no se trata de un montaje ni nada por el estilo, es por eso que decidí difundirla y contactarme con la gente de CIFAE Chile. Me interesa saber a que corresponde la imagen que en ella aparece y si es que alguien ha logrado captar algo similar, sólo eso.

I have my doubts as well, but I know that if I posted it, I would get honest responses and input ( not unlike yours ) :) , that makes it worthwhile. As far as I know, no, no one else saw it.

[Druchii]

I can't read spanish :wah:
I will have the translation in a bit. :)

[Ben Gruagach]

Hey -- check out the stuff at http://www.fairycongress.com/

Some interesting fairy stuff there.

[Druchii]

This is a literal translation of it. I will clean up the wording later if I get the chance. :)

I am of Conception and I am working in Santiago for little more than one year. On the 10 of May of the year under way I decided to leave to take some photographs in the Forest Park, I took around 10 photos which I discharged in my PC al following day.

It seemed interesting to paint a portrait of a group of Carabineros to horse that was found patrolling the sector, photo that took approximately to the 17:40 hrs. since the corner of JM of the Bar and Av. Cardinal José María Expensive, across the Beautiful Arts looking at toward the east.

The day was cloudy and the sun was being hidden for which my digital chamber (model Kodak DX6490) was adjusted to a low velocity (1/10 seg.)

That it is the reason by which the photo left moved (the one that something know about photograph understands the reason), besides the carabineros were to some 20 m for which I should use the zoom óptico of the chamber (10x), that added to the previous thing gave the result by you known.

The truth is that I am very impressed by the image that in her it appears, that I assure is a matter of an assembly neither nothing by the style, that is why I decided diffusing it and to contact me with the people of CIFAE Chile. It interests me to know to that the image corresponds that in her appears and if is that someone has managed to grasp somewhat similar, only that.

Wow.....Druchii you are so lucky! I've never seen a fairy even once! :D

The book "Fairies" by Janet Bord is a great read for fairy-lovers. It includes numerous fairy sitings and encounters from around the world, several theories on fairies and their origins, and has a small selection of fairy photos.

[Pol]

The only curious bit about it is the shadows. The shadows of the horses fall one way, and yet the creature is darkly shadowed from the other direction. This could be colouring, or just the way it looks (the trees are slightly shadowed in the same direction, possibly).
Anyway, it's a strange photo, but something about it doesn't strike me in the way of 'omigod i'm seeing something odd.' It doesn't have that strange feel to it.
That's not to say it's fake, only just strange.

[Convallaria]

looks like Dobby the house elf is taking a stroll...

Good gollum: Dobby likes me!
Bad gollum: Dobby? Dobby's a ***************!!!!
Serkis: That's enough, gollum!

[Nantonos]

Here is the best I could do in photoslap.

the jpeg artefacts in the chrominance channels are really bad, little one can do about them.

I do notice the camera shake is at 45 degrees (look at the leaves)and the body and trailing leg on Dobby have no camera shake while the head does and the arm could be just a leaf with camera shake..

I wonder if a spot of dodge, burn, blur and smudge could have produced dobby. Although, I tried to make another one using those tools and it didn't look the same.

I got this by editing the image in photoshop, 16 bit mode, Lab, upsampling, levels, a wide radius unsharp mask, and downsampling again.

[Pol]

I got about the same results from various tools in paintshop pro. By darkening it, you can see the shadows (faint as they may be) around the feet of the horses.

Also, what IS that in the trees?

[Faeawyn]

Sure does look like he's out for a casual stroll doesn't it? I guess when you move at a vibrational level that's not discernable to the naked eye....you take your time :lol:

[Starpixie]

Hey I have some pics of Ethan at my old apartment that have things like this on them:
http://www.eceti.org/images/CongresStreak.jpg

[Phi]

http://www.mysticwicks.com/photoalbum/albums/userpics/18133/parque3.jpg Here is one that I have been looking into.I thought we might want the picture we're discussing on this page.

I see: a "little one" crossing the road going to pick up his/her "pet," the door is open to the right (the almost "mirror image" to the right in the wood) for the "little one" to cross back to its plane. Could a child have been killed in this roadway, perhaps run over, run down?
:twitch: Note the streaks of light in the background, however the lights in the foreground do not appear to be on. Easily could be a reflection, but another oddity to me. BTW Druchii, what is in the far background on the road? Looked like a misty village to me at first, then like people walking toward the scene, but perspective seems wrong somehow...they seem too foggy/distant to be that tall. Perhaps is a foggy day? Is that two adults and a child (to left?)
Also look just in the wood above the head of the little one, is that another officer in the wood..or something else...the colors look the same as the officers on the horses, yet it seems too tall to be in proper perspective for a walking man, and I see no horse there...is that a cocked hat? Then there is another light just to left of that in the roadway, a blur...
Perhaps if I am right about the door, quite a few spirit beings are going toward the doorway?

[Phi]

Hey...I went to this site http://www.eceti.org/orbs.htm, and they have tons of photo's taken with orbs...and a close picture they took of this fairy/angel creature.....
Of course, I don't believe it's totally real....but it does have me curious :hehehehe:
What do you guys think?
I see: A fairy, fae being! I do believe this is real, there is so much detail, wings with rainbows usually is what I have seen myself on rare occasion. With great delight!

[Faeawyn]

I see what you're talking about with the figure to the left above dobby's head. Looks like another patrol officer way up ahead. Also, I don't think Dobby is walking towards the thing in the road....if you look closely, the thing in the road is a little below his path....I also see the people in the distance....hmmmm. I also noted the lights on ahead....but figured that with it being after 5pm, perhaps it was dusk and the park was just turning on the lights.
