Bruce, a photographer who reads Crystalinks, commented:

The large photo with Mike pointing the camera into a mirror is incidental refracted light in the shape of the camera's lens. Happens all the time when there is a source for lens flare [light hitting the glass portion of the lens]. Take a look at these 3 samples from my website:

Image 1

Image 2

Image 3

All three have light sources that 'flared' the lens. There is even a filter in Photoshop that will create this effect.

The 2 colored spots are most likely an LCD lightbulb projected on his head. They usually are this shape at close range. Kind of freshman year photo class creativity, which usually leads people to light painting.

Sometimes you just can't believe your eyes. Contrary to appearances, the landscape is not on fire. "This is just a cloudy sunset over open countryside in France. There was no fire," says Patrice Arnaudet, who took the picture on July 13, 2008 using a Canon 350D digital camera. Blame the trickery on Rayleigh Scattering. Tiny particles in the air, including air molecules themselves, scatter blue light more so than red. When the sun sets, so much blue is scattered, the remaining rays can become extremely reddened. Rayleigh-scattered sunbeams are painting the clouds the color of wildfire.
