hm.. intentional hoax I say

I'm pretty sure you didn't realize you did this, but this IS a what happens when you rotate a camera either on purpose or on accident. The EXIF data shows an exposure time of 1/60 secs. While that is not necessarily long exposure, it is plenty long enough for a quick rotation by hand to result in the vortex.

This is what you did. If not, then "energy vortices" and other paranormal things that appear in camera look indistinguishable from photo manipulation or aberrations.

Now that is a very reasonable explanation. Thank you. Yes, its possible I did something without knowing it - easy enough with rambunctious animals around. It was just such a weird picture. And yes, the sheep's eyes are way spooky!

I guess the answer is I moved without realizing it. Bummer. I did want it to be something way more paranormal :-)

Thank you.
