Paranormal Photography This is aimed towards all new paranormal investigators (and a few experienced ones). First thing you should do is experiment with your camera, know what different settings do. Take pictures of mirrors, windows, insects and birds, see what they show up like in your pictures. Practice shooting in all conditions and take notes at what effects this has on your pictures, take lots of pictures at night and see how dust will show up as orbs. Take pictures of insects and see how they can leave trails and look like a rod. Use faster shutter speeds to eliminate blurred movement pictures. Take pictures and immediately move the camera so you can see lights will trail while darker objects won’t. Read about matrixing and how your mind automatically looks for familiar shapes, this explains a great deal of pictures presented as paranormal. (It also explains a great deal of Evp’s captured). If your going to be shooting at night set your ISO settings at 400 – 800 and turn your camera to highest megapixel settings. (this is so if you capture something you can zoom in and it won’t be all blurry like so many pictures claimed as paranormal). Remove camera straps from your camera or wear it around your neck. If you have long hair pull it back, there are to many hair paranormal pictures on the internet. Ok now we will make some paranormal pictures. First get your vacuum cleaner bag and head outside at night. Have someone pat the bag and you take some pictures, you will now see what effect dust and lint have in your pictures. Get a spray bottle and fill it with water, have someone spray it and get some pictures. (this should also be done with your video cameras) . Take some long hair and dangle a strand in front of your lens, you’ll be amazed at how it looks when the flash hits it. These orbs aren’t paranormal! We will now learn how to catch a ghost. Slow your shutter speed down and have two people in your picture. One remains motionless, the other as soon as you take the picture hurry’s out of it. You may need to play around with this to perfect it, this causes a person to become transparent. Ok I also recommend if your camera has a manual focus setting to set it to this at night, then focus it for an average shot at the beginning of an investigation. This eliminates your camera from automatically trying to lock on to something and allows for faster shots. It also removes focus noise from evp sessions. Turn off, if possible all the beeps and sounds your camera makes. This will be a start at making you a better paranormal photographer. It also serves another purpose. If you do this kind of testing with the team, you all learn together and puts you on the same page. You will also learn who works better with who. Its taking time to perform tests like this that saves time wondering what caused what in a picture later while reviewing evidence. I didn’t devote much time on the subject of orbs because we should all be past that by now. 99.9 percent are lint, pollen, dust, moisture, insects, rain, and snow. Any questions contact me.
