Yeah, I've captured some facial looking orbs too, which are the larger kinds of orb, as opposed to those tiny dot ones. But after investigating that facial one I got in a dead wolf photo taken last yeat, it was clearly the reflection from some overhead lights that were in the scene wiht was indoors. A long barrel kind of lens tube attached to the front of your lens will quickly eliminate those kinds of orbs.

Okay, I didn't have a copy of the first wolf orb photo I took handy and still on my computer, in which it seemed there was a face in that orb (that photo was just a quick snapshot of those dead stuffed wolves I took while I was waiting in the check-out line in a sporting good store), and so I didn't even notice the orb until I got home later, but I found I had a better photo of those wolves and that orb taken when I went back there again a couple days later (because I was curious about that first orb shot, oh, and because I also needed some new inline skate wheels too - ha) which was still on my computer and quickly at hand ... and so I uploaded a small sized version (unless you want the full 3mb file - ha) and a full res crop (just to save on image size space) out of that same original and put it in my scraps here:

Unfortunately this photo doesn't show a face in the orb, but it is a much better photo than the first (for the camera I was using at that time). These were taken with my little Sony T1 camera some months before I got my Canon 20D, and I wasn't really seriously back into photography when I was playing around with that T1. That orb photo was easily re-creatable, and obviously caused by the overhead lights, because simply holding my hand over the top front of the camera would make it disappear - ha.

I have tens of thousands and thousands of just random photos like this, things I wasn't seriously shooting but just wanted to capture what I was seeing for remembrance or keepsake or whatever ... know what I mean? I'm sure you have LOTS of stuff too that you just shoot for the fun of it.

Anyhow, if you are really seriously interested in that first shot that shows a face in it (and I must admit if I recall, that face was more or less the result of the focus and darkness in that first photo), I could try to go back and find it - I'm sure I have it on a disk somewhere, but I might not have the time to do that for a while (my archive is a total mess - ha, just hundreds and hundreds of disks which have nothing but the date I wrote on it that I wrote the disk, and that does not necessarily relate to when I took such pictures on that disk - ha, a mess huh? but who has time to catalog things when that time could be better spent taking more photos instead - ha). Let me know.
