The apparent haze in the black portion of these photographs appears to be a product of inexpensive camera optics, likely a smartphone with a bit of finger grease on the lens. If you know what you're looking for, this haze is noticeable across the entire image but especially the left third.
This is a common artefact of cheap lenses (or, for that matter, a lens of any quality that is smudged or dirty) but it goes unnoticed by most people in most circumstances.
- bscphil 5y agoGood explanation - that does seem pretty likely. I hadn't really considered the possibility that it was a phone camera.
