The Light Rays Folded Into Arch-Like Sheets

Photo date: February 29, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I have recently been taking an incredibly strange series of photos that show a very weird set of transformations of the light from my TV set. You can see dozens of previous photos of this type by looking at this very astonishing series of photos.  Below are some more authentic examples.

The first photo shows light rising out of the TV, and forming into an arch-like structure.

Here we see another example of this strange arching effect.

In the example below we see light from the TV forming into what looks like an open manila folder.

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