In this photo there is another planet or something like that.
I didn't notice it in the sky. It could be a natural camera effect ?
The moon was in the opposite side of the sky the other day.
Do you see it ?

Due to the camera, would not be seen with naked eye.

Just an orb. Caused by reflections on dust particles.
I met this dude once who was sure they were spirits, ran me around his property showing me all the places he'd taken pics of these spirits. Crazy old bastard. Didn't want to know that it was just light reflections. Kept camels too. Sometimes would hook them up in a caravan and go walkabout across the country. Darn spirits were following him everywhere though.

It must have been the sunlight.
This is what it looked like a bit to the left, from the same spot. The photo was taken a few seconds after the first one.
I dont use effect it's just how they turn out.
The sky was strange today.

Whatta ya'll think about this pic I took?
it seems pretty odd to me given that the light in the image seems to clearly be behind the tree - wasn't taken with any flash or anything either.

These are reflections of the strong light source of the sun on glass surfaces in the objective; so basically light bouncing between lens elements or between the front lens element and a filter if one is mounted. Same phenomenon in both pictures. It's pretty common, particularly in cheaper lenses/cameras and when filters (particularly cheaper ones with bad or no coatings) are used. Please note that by 'filters' I mean the physical ones that mount on a lens; not software 'filters'. Also note that the issue does not necessarily depend on the presence of filters; a 'naked' camera lens can exhibit the same problem. It's usually referred to as a 'ghost' in the photographic community.
So in short: it's a known issue that is due to poor design and construction of some camera lenses, making them perform poorly under adverse conditions.

Cool photo twig head. Really love any nature photos. Being out there makes me nothing but happy.
I almost never see anyone out there and I've been going to that spot for about 10 years.
Just see old people. I wonder what people close to my age do.
I believe you guys that it's nothing. Still looks pretty cool.

I'm familiar with the effect though I hadn't ever seen it manifest in that way - seeming to backlight it in a way that seemed consistent with a light source behind the object - did the tree's reflection in the camera 'absorb' the blue doodad creating the illusion?

@twighead the sun is partly behind some trees, so the silhouette of the trees also appears in the ghost reflection. It's a nice illusion combined with the spot where the ghost appears.

Nothing odd other than light behaving as it should, creating some cool effects that are totally natural.
