Object Obstructing the Lens

An object obstructing the lens causes a dark or black area on the print and always a white or white area when using a flash indoors or under low light conditions. This area always has a fuzzy outline, never sharp. Many so-called: vortexes, swirls, spirals, etc. are simply caused by lens straps which are not around the picture-taker's neck but hanging loose. They then are captured in between the camera's lens and the subject of the photograph.

This picture is a clear indication of a camera strap. Notice the larger (neck support) near the bottom middle of the frame. Keep fingers, hands, straps, cases, flash cords and other objects away from the lens.
