does anyone know how those aura photos you can get done with the fuzzy glow around your body work?

are they picking up the heat being emitted from the subject?

They did them with plants years ago, cut the leaf in half then took a photo and you could still see the outilne of where the leaf should have been. Is it a physics thing, do living things emit some sort of energy, 'cause it wouldn't be too much heat with a plant would it?

The object is subjected to a large high frequency voltage and the current travels to earth through a phosphor screen of some kind - which glows.

The residual leaf affect is either fraudulent or caused by residual damage to the phosphor.

It's called Kirlian photography.
I read somewhere about the photographer aligning it just so, and you have to stay still.
Someone (like Philip Adams from memory) moved as the photo was taken and the aura was off centre.
Something in the camera.
I can't find the link now though. sorry.

The trick with aura photos is simple. It was discussed on a thread several months ago, but I'll leave it to someone else to link to that thread.

Anyway, inside the camera are placed small coloured lights, red, green, blue, yellow, whatever, which can be switched on or off in any combination. The photographer chooses which lights to have on and off. When the photograph is taken, those lights which are on inside the camera show up as a coloured blur.

It might take some practice to get the balance and brightness right, but at the price these photographers charge, they'd still make a useful little profit.
