Say the magic word, Hezbollah! 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.)

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!
