These photos were taken on 1-29-99 as an experiment
by PGHA member Andy K. Using his new digital camera, he thought it appropriate
to image his own crystalized breath in the nighttime cold air. We found this
experiment to be quite noteworthy as we have never witnessed a photo
demonstrating this natural phenomena. He made it a point to photograph his
breath while breathing normally and forcefully. The images contained on this
page were taken while breathing normally and holding the digital camera as
one would a conventional camera. Even relaxed breath, combined with a camera
flash, can yield a natural anomaly that closely resembles ectoplasmic vapor.
This illustrates the importance of why we must always be careful when taking
photographs in cold weather. One must always hold their breath before snapping
an image under chilly conditions. Our recommendation would be to hold for
5 or more seconds, take the image, then breathe.
