The Hallway

Back in late November I decided that I was going to take a photo of Max (my dog) and use the photo as the basis of a Christmas card. I have done it in the past, and used the photo of the dog to give to my girlfriend, which she has loved, so this year my thoughts were no different.

I had positioned Max at the end of the hallway, and myself and the camera at the other end of the hallway. Sadly as I was about to find out, it was a complete waste of time. I think all in all I took around about 40 photos of Max at the end of the hallway, and he just wouldn't sit still and kept walking around, and walking out of shot.

Well when I came to review the photos, all but one of them were blurred beyond use. Everything either side of this one photo failed to come out at all.

So here is the photo in question, which I accidentally took as the dog walked away.

Now as some of you will be able to see, there is a light on to the side of the hallway, and this is a low 40w energy saving bulb, but it could explain what is going on at the top of the image. But midway down on the right is a funny circular shaped orb. Now this could just be a reflection, but it wasn't on any of the other photos taken before or after this one image.

The only adjustments I have made in Photoshop was a tone adjustment, and nothing else.

 

I have added an arrow to point out the orb.
