A Photo I can't Explain

Just a word of advice: Don't make that little girl unhappy! Oh, and keep your fire insurance premiums paid!

This is what I was thinking. I think the firepit ... (show quote)
The shutter speed was 1/60.

Last night we went to the Luminaria event at the Desert Botanical Gardens. Where this photo was taken, there was a fire pit nearby, but not in the shot. Although it looks like it, the glove wasn't on fire. What's going on here? Is this some type of diffraction efffect?
This is caused by a long shutter; it took a picture of the fire either before the glove was in the picture (rear curtain flash; not likely) or after the flash pictured the glove (first curtain flash; mostly likely). I like the shot even if it wasn't planned.

Shutter was 1/60th. I would add that the fire pit was to our immediate right - the lady in the wool hat and glasses in the background was sitting on the opposite edge of the fire pit. I still can't explain this photo, but I assure all it wasn't Photoshopped or a deliberate double-exposure. Maybe an inadvertant double exposure? This was not taken with the camera I customarily use.

If you got the woman as well as the fire into a photo not aimed there, it sounds more and more like an inadvertent double exposure. You may have triggered the camera while raising to your face. Since it was taken with a camera unfamiliar to you, that makes it even more likely you accidentally fired it off. Maybe that camera has a way to take double exposures. I recently took a double exposure with a camera I rarely use. I don't know how I did it but did it I did!

I'm gonna guess that it was caused by rear curtain flash. The fire exposed enough to show up then when the glove moved in front, obscuring the fire, that flash fired.

Something reflective being held between the fingers of the glove, maybe chrome or glass

I'd blame it on the demon woman with the luminescent antlers.

Id say a reflection on your lens or filter.
Maybe the lens - there was no filter.

I see that the people in the back ground appear to be illuminated by the fire pit in the location it is shown. That could only mean double exposure effected by use of flash and movement of the glove. That's my guess and I am sticking to it. :-)

It's Bush's fault.

No, No, No. Obama's. Then again, maybe Putin's. Hillary's? Trump's. Of course.
