 What are Orbs?

Why is dust so big and out-of-focus between these points?

 

Is that the area in the middle?

Yes, looking at the diagram again.  We have established that between the camera and the left-hand line dust is not visible (being too large) and between the subject/person and the right-hand line dust is also not visible (being too small).

Dust is visible between these two lines because it is out-of-focus.

 

Orb Zone - Explanation in Text

 

So why is the dust big and out-of-focus exactly?

As demonstrated before, if you focus on something far away then anything close to you, that you are not focussing on, will be out of focus. 

The 'Try it at home' exercise on the last page also showed how your hand appeared to be out of focus.  Although your hand is too big and solid to actually disappear.

 

Is it really as easy as that?

Unfortunately not! Later sections will address the more technical issues.  But this section is designed to be an easy-to-use guide.
