Don't know the answer to your question...but i took a look at that pic and it is definitely either a product of double exposure or it was doctored up in photoshop using the clone tool to clone the same cone shape object all over the photo.

The first picture looks like a lens flare.

The second picture down the page doesn't -- I am not sure what that is.

Thanks for the responses. The picture (acutally this lady has many on the site with the orb issue) were taken with a digital camera. Can you have a double exposure with digital?

From what I've seen of orbs, they are always an occurance when the on-camera flash is involved. I think the flash is illuminating dust particles or water droplets/vapor. Or it's a ghost :P
