And it's gone!Sorry, Mike, I guess that trick's meant to stay in dark spaces. Looks like my flash revealed a little more than it should've. đŸ™‚The birthday girl gets her just desserts10930123274_38193f62a2_kLaurie's beautiful homemade birthday card…10930259503_6ba79f1e40_k…hand-drawn10930120314_246783fe39_kSupernatural?Okay, some explanation, I suppose. No, this isn't some supernatural apparition showing up in the photo. It's actually not smoke from the blown-out candle, either (you can see the candles aren't fully blown out yet). I had the camera set to both pop the flash and do a non-flash exposure to make the candles more visible. Laurie popped her head down to blow the candles out just as I snapped. So the haze you see is actually the exposed motion of her head!powered by Justified Image Grid
