Paranormal Light Streaks?
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.

The High, High Levitation of the Information Desk Lights
Photo date: February 29, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see something incredibly strange. At the bottom is the circular information desk at the center of the station. But look at the top -- there we see a ghostly ring of lights that seems to be some spooky version of the ring of lights found at the bottom. It is as if the ring of lights has somehow levitated way up to the top of the very high ceiling.
The exposure time on this photo was a single second.

The Normal Crowd and the Abnormal Light
Photo date: March 9, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. When I zoom in on the group in the front, I can see their faces quite clearly, and their faces look normal. But what is with that weird twisty light behind them?
The photo was a flash photo, and the EXIF data shows an exposure time of less than a second -- .62 second, although given the flash, the effective exposure time was probably much shorter. This blog has quite a few similar photos in which the exposure time is only 1/30 of a second.

Like Some Grand Hall at the Jedi Temple
Photo date: March 2, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below shows Grand Central Terminal in New York, where we see the strange effect I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays seem to be mysteriously amplified, and rise up far from their source, often bending in strange ways.
Another photo from the same day shows the same effect.
Another photo showed the light rays leaping up to touch the high, high ceiling.
These photos were flash photos taken with my Sony camera (not the Olympus camera I have normally used when such photos were taken). The EXIF data on the photos indicates they all had an exposure of a second or less, although since they were flash photos, the effective exposure time was probably much shorter.

Strange Dance of the Spiral Light Rays
Photo date: February 16, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal, and shows an example of the strange, strange phenomenon I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise way up from their source, often bending in strange ways. We see a strange "spiral staircase" effect near the top.
Another photo from the same day shows an equally weird effect.
These photos were non-flash photos with an exposure of less than a second (I have taken many similar photos that are flash photos with an exposure of only 1/30 of a second, as shown here). The camera was not moving when the photos were taken.

Wiggly Ascent of the Strange Rays
Photo date: February 29, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. We see some light rays that seem to have been untutored in the rules of physics. It's another example of the strange effect I call the light metamorphosis.
I have posted more than 100 flash photos showing such an effect (as shown here), but this one was a non-flash photo with an exposure of less than a second.

The Odd Light Soared Up to the High, High Ceiling
Photo date: February 29, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York, where we see the very astonishing effect I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise way up from their source, often bending in inexplicable ways. Notice the squiggly twists the light rays take near the top of the photo.

A Shocking Sight: The Spiral Light Rays
Photo date: February 29, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The unaltered photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York, where we see an incredibly weird permutation of the most astonishing effect I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise way up from their source, often bending in inexplicable ways. Here we see the light rays making a spiral twist. Is this some symbolic manifestation by some higher force, in which a DNA molecule is being symbolized?

Freaky Marvel of the Twisting Light Rays
Photo date: February 24, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal, and shows an example of the strange, strange phenomenon I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise way up from their source, often bending in strange ways. Notice how the light from the middle TV screen first rises and then falls.
The photo was a flash photo with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal camera settings

The Rays From Her Smartphone Rose Astonishingly High
Photo date: February 16, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal, and shows an example of the strange, strange phenomenon I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise way up from their source, often bending in strange ways. We don't see any bending here, but at the bottom of the photo we do see a ray of light from a woman's smartphone rising up many times higher than her height.
Another photo from the same day shows the bending of light rays that so often occurs with this phenomenon:

Kinky Scene at Grand Central
Photo date: February 11, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see what I have photographed here 16 times before: the strange phenomenon I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rises way up from its source, and bends in weird ways. In this example, the light from the TV screens first seems to move toward the huge window, and then quickly "changes its mind" and bends back in the opposite direction.
Pardon my double entendre with the word "kinky," which has as one of its definitions "having turns or twists." The photo was a flash photo with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal camera settings (no "Night picture" setting).

Wondrous Wiggly Weirdness
Photo date: February 11, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see the strange phenomenon I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rises up from its source, often bending in strange ways.
Here we see light rising up before bending way over to the right.
Another photo from the same night shows the light getting even wigglier.
The camera was not moving when these photos were taken. I got lots of similar photos while holding the camera very stable. No special camera settings were used. The photos were flash photos with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal camera settings (no "Night photo" setting).

Levitation of the TV Images in Grand Central
Photo date: February 5, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The unaltered photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see the strange phenomenon I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rises up from its source, often bending in strange ways. In this example we see what I have shown many times occurring with my own home TV set: the levitation of a TV image. At the center of the photo, we see two image rectangles rising up above the TV screens where they originated (there were only 3 TV screens in this part of the station). This is the same effect I have photographed 15 times occurring on my own home TV, as shown in this series of posts.
See here for other examples of this strange "light metamorphosis" effect in Grand Central Terminal.

Anomalous Bending of Light at Grand Central
Photo date: February 5, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see light rays rising far up from their sources, making snaky paths that make a mockery out of the claim that light always travels in straight lines.
Another photo from the same day shows the same effect. We can see from the sharp details here that this was not caused by a moving camera (which would have caused everything in the photo to look streaked).
The photos were flash photos with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal camera settings (no "Night photo" setting). The photos were taken by an old point-and-click digital camera using no special settings.

Dazzling "Drift" of the Wavy Light Rays
Photo date: February 5, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see the strange phenomenon I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise up far from their source, often bending strangely. It looks as if some weird wind was blowing the light rays over to the right.
The camera was not moving when the photo was taken, and except for the light the details are sharp (you can even see two people in mid-stride in the lower right). The photo was a flash photos with an exposure time of 1/30 of a second, using normal camera settings (no "Night picture" setting). Open the photo in a separate browse tab to see it in its full resolution.

Rocket-Like Rays Play "Ceiling Tag"
Photo date: February 1, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The unaltered photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York, on a day in which it was unusually crowded. We see the incredibly strange effect I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise way up above their source, often bending in strange ways. Here we see the light rays seeming to rise up like rockets, as if they had some ambition to touch the high, high ceiling.

The Orb and the Bending Light Rays
Photo date: February 1, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.
The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York, on a day in which it was unusually crowded. We see the incredibly strange effect I call the light metamorphosis, in which light rays rise way up above their source, often bending in strange ways. Joining this weirdness is a mysterious large orb appearing near the top. Call it a double dose of the astonishing.
The unaltered flash photo below has not been adjusted in any way. It was taken by an old digital camera, using no special settings. The exposure time was only 1/30 of a second. The camera was held stable while the photo was taken (no "Night Photo" camera settings were used, just ordinary settings).. If you open the photo in a separate browser tab to see it in full resolution, you can see the non-luminous details are sharp and non-streaked-- only the light rays look strange.
