My wife took a picture of our son yesterday. If you zoom in on his ear, there's a fucking dude there. Where does this come from?

Looks like the phone was in portrait mode, which blurs out the background, usually with decent success. But that mode isn’t perfect. In this case, it failed to totally blur out the space between your son’s ear and noggin’, similar to the crappy effect of a blurred out background on a zoom call- when you move, the background becomes visible. Was she at a park or other outdoor area with other folks in the background? Just a hunch.Quote:

There's someone living in your kid's head. Obviously.

Either when the photo was taken there was a kid in the background and she captured the photo and said kid was right where you see him looking like he was perched on your kid's ear. Or this is some new iphone camera photo filter that cameras can do now. Like putting cat ears or whiskers on every head in a shot, something like that...
You can use a blur background to help, or use Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop or similar to edit the photo.
It’s a ghost
Ear worm
Jesus, a UFO, or both.
Duh, time/dimenshun portal.
I think it was in portrait mode. The background is mountains. Just seems like a rather strange artifact to insert. Cause it is clearly a dude that is nowhere in the photo.
Did you activate pervo Mode? It inserts a weird middle aged man into all pics with kids [emoji6]Quote:

I wonder if modern cameras still work this way, and this is somehow an affect of that?
It's an Apple and people love them and say they just work. And that they have the greatest cameras that put random little kids in pictures I guess. :)
literally looks like a baseball batter in the box
agreed that it doesn't really look to be someone in the background, given the background is literally a mountain
that's super weird
Naked pics of wife to see if it’s just a fluke or weird camera glitch?
Agreed, this is the only way to tell.Quote:

Now I really want to know, can you ask Apple or some photog forum and tell us what you find out?Quote:

I agree it's probably a weird AI glitch in the software. They are really ramping up the processing aspect of it, trying to make sure humans and faces are in focus, etc. Probably just fooled it into thinking it'a a person somehow.
Maybe you won’t be so dismissive the next time your kid tells you he has a secret friend that only talks to him
Ha! Well playedQuote:

I took this photo (shot as a still, not a video) about 12 years ago at a kids ski race with whatever iPhone was in vogue then

No clue how that happens

And no idea why the helmet is yellow on the left but red on the right. It’s the same skier
