I thought is said she posted it right away so it would almost have to be a DIGITAL camera, thus NO internal , or lens reflection problems! eh

If this brought her comfort, all the best for her.
Digital cameras have lenses, do they not? eh
yes sir they do...dut I would think they are simple lens, not elaborate multiple lenses like a 35mm.
eh
but I would think..
World Net Daily is becoming an online supermarket tabloid.
Maybe. The lenses are small for the the little cameras that are intended for the Instamatic crowd [such as myself]. That doesn't necessarily mean a simple lens because chromatic aberration should be corrected with at least another piece of plastic [used to be glass]. Upmarket cameras like Canon and Nikon have fancy lenses like the film SLRs, plastic lenses or not. Internal reflection could be from the edge of anything that is in the light path, might not even be the lens.
Well, there are digital SLR's.
Why do you always frequent these threads then? You must have seen the title of this thread but still felt the need to come throw out your anti religious babbling. And, while I agree this was probably an easily explained anomaly, these pictures have not, apparently, been examined by any experts. Yet you can explain them away with one glance. It must suck to always have a frown on your face and then feel the need to put frowns on everyone else's. Joy to the world, says I. There is no joy, says you.
You'd probably really enjoy reading the story of a friend of mine ~ Mark's Secret Of Sapphire, Buddy. It's a really great dog story and, at the very bottom of the page, I added an rather interesting photo I happened to capture from a web-cam at the location of where this all took place....
btw ~ speaking of dog's and 'angels', I was just about to ping you to this post on another thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1296611/posts?q=1&&page=151

I said nothing antireligious. I merely said that the "angels" in this image are optical artifacts. That is the truth. As for experts, I have been making photographs as part of my profession for over 40 years. I've seen such artifacts on images and have learned how to light my subjects so as not to have them appear.
I can't imagine why an explanation of an image is somehow "antireligious."
Perhaps it was taken too close to Kmart's blue light special
"I can't imagine why an explanation of an image is somehow "antireligious.""
Because like hearing that there is no Santa, some religious nut jobs get angered when logic is introduced into their lives. If one lives in Fantasy Land, of course they're gonna get mad at the guy who opens the Door to Reality.
