Mystifying Marvel of the Light Metamorphosis

Photo date: January 12, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

On this day I photographed a most astonishing marvel I have never previously described.  Rather than first trying to describe it, let me just show an example. The camera was not moving when this photo was taken.

metamorphosis
Notice how the light from the TV seemed to rise up above the television set. Another photo showed the same thing. In both of these photos, the camera was stable, as you can see from other details. Only the light from the TV looks strange.

Below is a closeup. Notice the incredibly strange thing that seems to be happening to the light from the digital clock.  The light seems to be drifting up like smoke.

Here is another photo. Now the light seems to be drifting up like smoke, to the right.

light transformation
In the photo below, the light seems to be drifting off to the left.

Below is a closeup that shows the digital clock numbers undergoing a weird transformation.

Below is a similar photo.

I then took a "control" photo to see whether this could be some camera malfunction. The photo looked unremarkable.


The weird anomaly continued in a later photo.

twisting light
A closeup shows high weirdness with the light from the digital clock.

bending light
These photos are completely authentic, as are all photos on this site. I very much doubt that there is any software program that allows you to duplicate the things we see here, in a way that would exactly match what we see here.

The photos were flash photos with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal photo settings
(no "Night picture" setting).
