The Light Rays Made a U-Turn

Photo date: January 20, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this series of  posts I have shown an incredibly strange photographic anomaly in which light seems to rise up like drifting smoke: the effect I call the light metamorphosis. Below are some more examples of this most wondrous effect.  Below is a photo of my TV set. The camera was not moving when the photo was taken, as you can see from the fact that all of the details look sharp, except for the emitted light.

Below is a closeup of the light from the clock on the cable box. Look closely to see something most astonishing.  The light from the clock is making a kind of U-turn, turning sharply to return back toward the point it started out.

 The photos were flash photos with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal camera settings (no "Night picture" setting). The photo was taken by an old point-and-click Olympus camera.  Most photos taken with this camera show no such effect.
