    Strange object in pic

    I started working with my younger brother who owns a hardwood flooring company. Still small, but making money. We installed a gorgeous custom floor last week, and stained and applied the poly coats to it this week. The house is late 19th/early 20th century, huge and has the potential to be spooky. The homeowner just dropped $8000 on green granite countertops with veining, had them put on top of black distressed cabinets and had us stain the floor a green shade to match the counters.

    The floor turned out so well I took some pictures. This one is the only one with anything weird in it.


    WTF is that just above and left of the flash glare? How quick does something have to move to be a blur on a digital image when everything else is in focus? Looking close, it looks like something round caught in motion. there's also an orb on this one (up and to the right of the anomaly) that isn't on the next one either. And it's not dust, you can see the little specks of dust on the lense, they look like little specks of dust, not big invisible blurs.

    Nothing in this pic of the same area. Granted it's a little closer, but the flash glare still shows, where's the anomaly? Where's the other orb?

        It would be a big fat fast white roach, and I'd have seen it on our freshly coated floor. The floor is still wet in those pics. Nothing was running across them, and I was looking down when I took the pic, I'd have seen something moving across it.

        You can clearly see my flash in the glare on the floor though. It's not a moving smear of light.

              It is either floor glare or most likely a piece of dust or something floating in the air that caught the flash and reflected back, and was close to the lens of the camera. Also, since the angle is verty different, it would mean that the same reflection which could cause the lighting abnormality to not display in the 2nd pic.

              No expert here, just a skeptic.

                    i agree with mike. and considering how long the lens was probably open for the first pic im sure there was time for a piece of reflective dust (a dry flake of poly?) to cause a streak. but thats just me. and like mike said, using 2 separate pics arent a good comparison because there are a MILLION variables changed between taking two different shots...

                    nice floor, though.

                      Could always just be another odd lens flare. What condition is the lens in? A hairline scratch with light hitting it at the right angle could make such a mark.

                      And yeah, nice floor. I'm planning on having mine done sometime soon... my linoleum is gross, and my dog destroyed my carpet. Time to finish the wood underneath!

                              that glare aint nothing, just a glare....

                              see that 'orb' or octagon looking glare? some people believe those are positive orbs of spirits of the dead, separate life forms or even nature spirits...

                              OR JUST DUST PARTICLES!

                              you decide, you decide...
