shook the camera while taking the picture of a person through a window with a reflection of candy canes?
 
either that, or you have a superimpose function on your camera and took several frames, 1 over the other, 6 or so of a single lit candy cane, 1 of a person.

definitely not
 
actually, in light of the new reply, i'm going with the shook the camera while taking a picture of a person and a reflection.
 
I didn't wait for the whole thing to load (darn dialup), but it looks like you had it set for a long exposure and you moved the camera while the shutter was still open.

I am not much on photography, but a couple good sites are dpreview and steves-digicams.

Causes what, exactly?

Unless the camera was on a tripod or table..

The blurryness of the candycanes is clearly caused by unsteadyness in the camera and/or objects.

The weird lines at the top of the candycanes are bizzare though.

Obiviously thats what the camera saw though, right? Since we can't see the setup, you tell us what causes what. 😛

i can see that in your profile. but you said my room looked something like styles in your neighborhood. i was asking for a locale.
 
btw a camera can pick up shake/movement that you might not oterwise notice. Especially when dealing with night time/ long exposure shots.

Yep.

Night scene mode will typically lower the shutter speed down to maybe as slow as one second. Any movement of the camera, and the picture will be blurry.

Or your camera may have an infrared sensitive mode, that effect can also be achieved by infrared sensitive film.

severely doubt it. this is a digicam, no film. and all commercial digicams for normal use wont pick up infared. it's outside visible wavelengths, so why bother.
