Product Description: Profusely illustrated with dozens of photographs, this is everyone’s guide to investigating the paranormal world. Sweet shows that paranormal light forms known as orbs are all around us and can be documented by anyone with a camera. Sweet, who holds a Ph.D. in Esoteric Studies from American Pacific University, outlines the history of orbs including why they’re here and what they’re trying to communicate to us.
Not about photographing the paranormal This book was an expensive disappointment. It gives no information or instgruction on how to photograph the paranormal. Not only that, I cannot tell you how many photos they mention in their text, you look for the photo and it is not even included in the book. I would not recommend this book to anyone. This woman also claims nothing (spirits, good or bad) can ever follow you home which is not true. She claims you cannot photograph an orb without flash which is also false. Don't waste your money; get it out of the library or better yet, don't even read it!
Orb photography I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I am also an orb photographer. I learned quite a bit of information that I did not know. Very happy someone wrote a book regarding this subject. The information I learned will help me in my photography and study of orbs.
Photographs of dust, water droplets, and smoke This book is not a guide to taking photographs of paranormal entities. It is a collection of pseudoscientific nonsense. I was expecting pictures of "ghosts". What I got were pictures of dust, water droplets, and (possibly cigarette) smoke illuminated by a flash at close distance. As an experienced photographer, I know what they look like. Anyone can reproduce these images without any "paranormal" assistance. I have a problem with Lenore Sweet being called "Dr. Sweet". Her PhD came from American Pacific University, a non-accredited online diploma mill. Perhaps if she had gone to a real university, she would have learned a few things about skeptical analysis of evidence which is a requirement of anyone who writes a dissertation.
Boring The title of this book should have been How to Photograph Orbs. I could not even finish this book as it was all about orbs. The author touched slightly on too many other subjects and heavily on orbs. I was highly disappointed.
OK book for the beginner If taking pictures of orbs is all you're looking for, this is the perfect book for you. For the serious paranormal investigator, this book is rather limited. It touches on "vortexes" and "ecto-plasm" even crop circles and UFO's, however the primary focus is on orbs. On a positive note: the color photos are excellent and for that reason alone, I recommend this book!
