The Image Floats Out of a TV Screen

Photo date: January 15, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In two previous posts I had photos showing the strange marvel I call the light metamorphosis, in which light seems to rise up from a light source, like drifting smoke. Below are some more authentic examples of this weird wonder.  The photos are all unaltered (I didn't even adjust the color a bit).

The first photo shows the effect. Note that the bottom of the photo is completely normal. This was absolutely not a photo taken while the camera was moving, nor is it a long-exposure photo.  The EXIF info on the file shows the exposure time was only 1/30 of a second.

Below is an even clearer example. Again, the exposure was only 1/30 of a second. I doubt that there is any software on this planet capable of faking what we see below.

light miracle
In the photo below, the image from the screen rises out of the screen, and then does an astonishing zig-zag. First it moves to the left, and then to the right.  Again, the exposure was only 1/30 of a second.

light metamorphosis
Below is one more example. Again, notice how sharp the details are on the bottom. This proves the camera was not moving (the camera was not moving when any of the photos were taken). Again, the exposure time is only 1/30 of a second.

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