Flmed on Feb 24th Auckland,. Why do these leaves appear behind the moon? there has been no altering of the video. This was taken straight from my camera chip. Filmed through a Canon camera, on tripod..... As I say, I'm no physicist... so what is the science behind this?.

This happens all the time in videos, it's because your camera is focused on the moon and not the tree, The light is also coming from the moon so it has a tendency to bend around the leaves so to speak. I believe that if your camera is focused on the leaves this wouldn't happen.
It also tends to happen even with our eyes when there is a light source that is behind and beside the object in question

It's just like any video camera will do without a really good white balance. Point a video camera toward any light source and this can happen. Really standard stuff.

Because I wanted to know how this happens. I know there was a technical explanation. I just didn't know what it was called or exactly, how it happens.
I don't care about his other videos. I wanted to know the cause and effect of this particular one.
You have a problem with that? Why?
If there was a 'camera' forum I would've stuck this in there but...........
It's not a hoax.

Why is this lame? Consider this an educational thread. I did not say it was 'paranormal' or anything like that. It's an optical effect that I would like to know, its cause and name. Read my OP better!
