Strange results of camp fire

I shot some pic's a couple years ago on a campout. The people are in focus, but somehow the flames have appeared to reach out. Any ideas on how this can happen. If you have some similar shots, please post them

Weird isnt it?? I took a pic of my son on the top of a double decker bus at night. The streaks in my pic are street lights

Yes, and it's an interesting effect...people do it on purpose.
You use a slow shutter speed and move during the shot and when the flash fires, it freezes a moment of your subject in time, that way you get the smear followed by the frozen sharper shot.

Woodsliv,
It comes from a combination of slow shutter speed and camera shake with a flash.
Sometimes it is an accident and sometimes on purpose.
Attached are a couple of shots my daughter took and got that effect on accident one night when I took her and my grandkids up for a night time airplane ride.
