Photo date: March 9, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see an example of the strange effect I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise far up from their source, often bending in strange ways.
The photo was a flash photo with an exposure of .62 second, taken with my Sony DSC-W830 camera. Now a skeptic may say, "You should have used a shorter exposure time; then there would have been no such light streaks." But below (from March 12, 2016) is a flash photo taken with an exposure of only 1/30 of a second, using my Olympus camera, using normal camera settings (not "night photo" settings). The streaks are still there. In fact, most of the photos I have taken of these strange streaks have been flash photos that used an exposure of only 1/30 of a second, with normal camera settings, without using any "Night photo" camera settings.
Some weird camera malfunction, perhaps? Not likely, as we see the effect with two different cameras.
