              Do you have more info (exposure time, flash usage, ...) ?

              It looks like motion blur on a bright light...

                The camera was set on Auto settings im not a fotographer, I don't even know how to use all that manual mambo jumbo. The camera was Fujifilm MX - 1200 nothing fancy. I guess it was just one of them weird shots.

                  Speaking of thumbs, it looks like a finger moving in front of the lens, interfereing with AF and AE, catching a smear of flash and tossing it back at the lens. Or some variation on that theme.
                  How can you possibly take anything seriously?

                      So you can see, the camera has exposed half a second, and I guess the bright blob you see is your girlfriend (is she blonde?) walking by in front of the camera with a light source behind you. Or you taking the camera down, thinking the shot is finished, when in fact it's still exposing. You should have used a flash, it's almost always too dark indoors, so your shots get either severely underexposed, blurred (from shaking the cam - you cannot hold still enough for this long an exposure), and have motion blur. Flash shots, on the other hand, produce ugly skin and red eyes, and often kill the mood.

                      One way to avoid this is using higher ISO (which introduces noise on virtually every cam, except some dSLRs), or staging the shot and using a tripod (which is obviously not what you want to do).

                      So your cam (or you) should have used the flash.

                        Wow impressive az how did you get all that info
                        The light was directly above me, and i think the flash didn't go off because it didnt fully charge, 'cause i wanted to take that picture as quickly as possible.

                        Hehe na her hair is as dark as they come

                          Then I guess mutz is right and it was your finger crossing the lens while the picture was being taken (and you obviously thinking it had been taken already).

                          You can see this info in any good image editor - usually when you click something like "image info", "file info", or "EXIF info". Did you get any software with the Cam? I know Photoshop (with which you saved the file) supports EXIF, IrfanView does also. In winXP, you can also view a file's properties in explorer and see some EXIF info.

                          EXIF is data the camera saves into the image file's header, containing info about the conditions the picture was taken under (settings, focal length, etc.) - many better cameras also save additional (non-standard) info that most 3rd party software can't understand.

                          There's also a free (I think) software called exifer, which is an expert at displaying EXIF info (even manufacturer-specific stuff).
