What I call the "string of pearls" effect is an effect in which a photo seems to show multiple position states of an orb traveling very fast. Below is Part 6 of a retrospective of my photos showing such an effect.
My photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York, We see a most spectacular example of a moving orb. This example shows what I call the "string of pearls" effect, where we see multiple position states of a moving orb, which end up looking rather like pearls on a pearl necklace.
My photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We seem to see an orb that is moving in a W-shaped motion (tilt your head and you can see the W-shape). We see an example of the "string of pearls" effect in which different position states of a fast-moving orb look like pearls on a pearl necklace. In this case there are at least six "pearls" in the "necklace."
My photo below shows a featureless indoor wall. We see an orb that seems to be moving very fast. The camera seems to have captured four different position states of a hurtling orb. The apparent size was about 20 inches.
My photo below shows what seems to be an orb moving fast above a wooden floor. The camera seems to have captured three position states of a fast moving object.
My photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We a blue orb that seems to be moving very fast, in an undulating manner (as we also see in these 20 photos). We also see the "string of pearls" effect shown in this series of photos, in which we see position states of a moving orb that resemble pearls on a pearl necklace.
Below is the larger photo from which this photo was cropped.
My photo below shows what I call the orb "string of pearls" effect, in which we seem to see multiple position states of a single fast-moving orb. The end result looks like a string of pearls on a pearl necklace.
My photo below shows an orb that seems to be moving very fast, in a squiggly wiggly path, next to a big flag in Grand Central Terminal in New York.
Below is a closer look at the orb. We see the "string of pearls" effect in which we see contiguous position states of a moving orb, which look like pearls on a necklace. There are three different changes of direction in a short space, something that is impossible for dust, insects, or birds.
