  HI again all. I am wondering what causes this sort of thing in a photo? These two shots were taken close together but by two different people, being husband and wife. I am not sure what their camera is but i dont think it is a cheapie. Is this caused from a finger obscuring the flash when the flash went off?. Thanks for your replies in advance. Flash was used

  Looks like finger in front of flash.

  With respect that first pic is the scariest shot I have ever seen. oooooh

  I’d say definitely something in front of the flash…nothing ghostly anyway.
