Could somone explain this?

Hi,

Tonight, I tried to take a picture of my dog for fun.

The result was a little creepy. I'm a poor photographer, and I couldn't keep the camera still, so the picture came out extremely blurry.

However, there's something strange - it's like my dog is see-through. Through his blurry figure you can see the lines in our wooden floor.

I'm sure there's some explanation for this, I just found it weird.

your exposure time was too long, and there was no flash.... that would explain a lot... try shooting on auto mode instead of whatever you were using

It is because of a slow shutter speed. Cameras do not take pictures instantly, and with a slower shutter speed it is recording the scene longer. Your dog was there for most of the exposure, but then must have run off, leaving the picture still taking and so it caught some of what is behind them. We had to do a project like this once. You can do some pretty cool things with slow shutter speed in the night.

If you want a real picture of your dog, you will need a lot more lighting, a flash might be a good idea or take it during the day outside

Okay.
