Upon further inspection, it looks like the douche on the left of the red line that I drew may have been photoshopped in. Just look right below the chick on the right of the red line where the fingers appear out of her backside.

The white thing on the right

The only anomaly i detect is the guy in the bottom left corner with the horrible grey shirt.

You don't find him sexy?

:p

And, I don't think his shirt is really what's hurting his chances with the ladies. ;)

That's dude's hand.

It's a flaming sombrero.

Or were you referring to an ATOT pic which features females but no cleavage?

It's called "dust". There are several specs of it in that picture. You notice it most easily when you use a flash.

Idiots with little to no reasoning ability, troubleshooting ability, or common sense call these supernatural orbs. But it's dust.

They are not blinking. Look where their hands are.

I'm almost certain that this specific instance is not dust
I've got plenty of pictures with dust on them, and you can see, this is nothing like those

If you think this is anything other than dust in front of the camera being illuminated by a flash, you're an idiot.

as to those who think its photoshopped, you might notice it lacks such information in the properties, but still contains the info from the camera

Your picture contains a lot of dust. If you look closely, you'll see at least 4 other specs of dust lit up in addition to the biggest, brightest one.

It's not on the lens, it's in front of the lens, floating around. If you look at your picture, there are several of them.


What really surprises me is just the absolute stupidity displayed by some people. It's as if they have no troubleshooting or reasoning ability at all. When they approach a problem, they should consider the most likely possibilities first, and the least probable possibilities last.

If, for instance, my bike was missing, I'd think that maybe I misplaced it or maybe someone took it. I wouldn't instantly assume that a space alien stole it or Jim Morrison hopped off a blue bus, rode a snake and pedaled off into oblivion. Yet when someone encounters an extremely common phenomenon such as dust in front of a camera's lens, they jump to ridiculous conclusions and think that they just took a picture of a ghost.

It baffles the mind.

Apparently you've never looked at an out-of-focus droplet of water underneath a microscope.

It's a water spot, sorry, not dust.

it's a large speck of dust on the lens
the front element of the lens must be very small (point and shoot camera), and the flash made the dust speck disproportionately bright

I think it is moisture. I notice this in many pictures taken in high-humidity areas when there is a flash. I took a picture with a P&S in a laundry room one time and the whole picture was full of big white dots like that.
